A review by narcissia
Villette by Charlotte Brontë

5.0

While this isn't as easy of a read as Jane Eyre is, it is so masterfully done. It's like Jane Eyre, the gritty grown-up version. I love the subtlety of the motifs Bronte uses, and the not-so-subtle ones. The chapter where she accuses M. Paul of "banquet[ing:] secretly and sacrilegiously on Eve's apples" is great. The whole book is brilliant.
