bagdriwicz 's review for:
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
by Anne Brontë
4.5 stars
I can’t explain why I like this book, but I did enjoy the reading of it. This is one of those rare books where I’m not particularly fond of the characters, but I was still riveted by the story. I do like our titular tenant for the most part, but she has the wooooooorst taste in men. Arthur obviously sucks, but Gilbert is such a child. He ignores her wishes and throws tantrums. But I still found his side of the story interesting. The first half of the book feels a bit Austen-y, with the cast of characters made from a country neighborhood and everyone intrigued by a new mystery tenant in the ruined Wildfell Hall. The romance and the mystery kept me interested despite constant frustration with Gilbert’s antics.
