A review by marcusnyahoe
Villette by Charlotte Brontë
4.0
Probably Charlotte Bronte's most accomplished book. This is an absorbing and engaging read that is very much an argument for the equality of women. It feels like a key text in the changing of attitudes towards women in the arts, but without ever seeming too didactic.
The only slight reservation is that this is a Victorian novel and, as such, could be a little too slow moving for some modern tastes. However if you can get beyond this then it is a rewarding read.
