Description

When a family catastrophe strikes, Lucy Snowe leaves England to teach English in a small Belgian town. Immediately after arriving in Villette, Lucy is drawn into the town s charm, adventure, and romance. Brontë s characteristic episodes of social challenges, meticulous creation of intimacy, and realism make ‘Villette a wonderfully passionate and psychological novel. Charlotte Brontë s unromantic view on the world around her, and her outspoken opinions make this novel perfect for fans of Virginia Woolf s ‘Miss Dalloway .
