Villette

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'.
