A review by jenhurst
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

4.0

I’m not sure why Anne Brontë isn’t talked about as much or more then her sisters. I’ve read wuthering heights and didn’t really get the romanticism of healthcliffe being in love with the girl version of him and Catherine being in love with the male version of him. They were such awful people with too much self love. Then I’ve tried 4 times to read jane eyre before giving up. This book is much better written and way more accessible then her sister’s works. It’s also far more radical. A woman in an abusive relationship leaving with her son and making it on her own? Completely unheard of in that era. The way it was presented with letters and diary entries was a really interesting way to do it as well.
