I know this is a bit of a long shot, because no one has seemingly heard of this novel, but I thought I'd post about it anyway.
Villette is hands-down one of my favorite books. Every time I read it, I enjoy it more and more. I think the biggest draw for me is how similar I find I am to Lucy. Almost everything she discusses I agree with; there have been times where I've read something that's made me say, "That's what I was thinking!" Her personality, thought process, everything--they parallel mine exactly.
The only part I don't like is the ambiguity of the ending. I grew quite attached to Monsieur Paul Emanuel. :\
So. Have you read this novel, and what were your thoughts?

I love Charlotte Bronte's works. I am now reading Jane Eyre and I am in love with the book. I love the feeling it moves you into. The way you can connect with her characters. I also love the men figures in it. I love it soo much. I can hradly put it down at night. did you read it.
Haha nope, unless you count that she's described as "plain." Other than that, I believe she's a white woman with brown hair...whereas I'm Asian, and naturally have black hair. (:
I have to say that it's kind of creepy how common you at the character seem. Is she described how you look because that would be even wierder!
I love books written around the Bronte Sister's time, but i have never heard of this one. I'll definatly get it from my local library next time i'm in there!
I love Charlotte Brontë, but have not heard of this! *requests from library*
