barbette 's review for:

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

5.0

---

This was absolutely not what I expected. A glimpse into the life and mind of a gentlewoman in the mid 19th century, this book shines a light on many issues that seem modern today. Brontë's protagonist is passionate and heroic, a rational but surely radical (for the era)thinker. Even the way this book is structured seems contemporary and dynamic. I would recommend this book to all young women considering ever getting married, as well as people dealing with issues of substance abuse within their families. Thought provoking, but also a pleasure to read.
