Villette by Charlotte Brontë

1.0

Sheer stubbornness kept me from quitting. This is no Jane Eyre. The translation from French was terrible and incomplete. It forces you to search for translations to phrases in the back of the book almost every page with no apparent reason why these phrases are left untranslated. This combined with the wordy, rambling, dramatic writing style make it a very difficult read. No wonder I had never heard about this one by her before.
