The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

source
My classic for December was this lovely novel from Anne Bronte.  At first it was a little hard to get into the language again but once I got going, I really enjoyed the story.  What surprised me the most is how ahead of its time this novel was.  It's quite feminist as it wasn't a time when women really left their husbands, no matter what and it was told from different points of view which helped to break up the story too.

Of all the Bronte novels and Jane Austen novels, I think this is possibly my favourite.  Brilliant!
