perjacxis 's review for:

Villette by Charlotte Brontë
4.0

Villette is difficult to rate. The narrator, Lucy, keeps the reader at a distance. She does not care if one can sympathise with her and doesn't ask for it. Lucy does not want to share her story which sometimes made it difficult for me to feel intrigued by her story.
It is rather a quiet and psychological story than one full of action. Lucy's story realistically depicts the life of women and broke my heart a bit at the end.
