I've officailly read a book from all the Bronte sisters. This book is basically a story of a story for the most part. It is about this stange enchanting widow and her son, who live at Wildfell Hill. The book is a flashback into her life and how she ended up there.
Anne Bronte's writing is the far most symplistic of all the Brontes, but that isn't a bad thing. Whilst her sisiters implied the struggles that women faced at the time, Anne went out and said it. I find for the time that this book was written, it was remarkably femminst.
I loved the characters, despite finding them irritating. They are so wonderfully written, and this makes the book all the more compelling for the reader.
Although this book was slow paced, the plot was so engaging that I didn't even notice. 
The formatting was interesting as it is told in letters and diary entires, which I think gives us more insight into the characters minds, while also feeling that we apart of the situation.
This was an amazing book and I would recommend to all classic femminism readers.
