Villette by Charlotte Brontë

3.0

---

Charlotte Bronte's prose is beautiful as always but this book just didnt do it for me. There was such an emphasis on protestantism v. Catholicism that may have been relevant when this was published but doesnt make sense now. Also i know many books in this era had random french dialog in it (though i dont know why) but this book has so much of it, full conversations that at points it was hard to follow.
