Villette by Charlotte Brontë

5.0

---

Charlotte Brontë’s beautiful sentences and depth of character, depth of description, have been a welcome companion in these changed hours of quiet nights spangled with anxiety and days newly prescribed and ever-shadowed with questions. Her birthday was two days ago, and I thought of her often while I dug in my gardens and planted flowers, so grateful for the companionship of her creation and for art that still, 167 years later, is fierce enough, tender enough to meet us.
