The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
2.0

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall started out with such intrigue...who is this mysterious woman living in the abandoned estate with her young son? The point of view from a local young man's perspective was well done. When the point of view switched to the 'mystery woman' the novel became a parody of Gothic Romance and could not redeem itself. The characters are very one-dimensional. It would have been far more interesting if Anne would have made this a true epistolary novel instead of the tedious detail from her 'diary' which did not work.
