Description
Villette by Charlotte Brontë
Having suffered grievous personal hardship, Lucy Snowe moves abroad to take up a teaching post at Mme Beck’s school in Villette. She wrestles with her feelings for the local doctor and a fellow teacher as she seeks self-knowledge and fulfilment in a distant land. Charlotte Brontë’s most autobiographical novel, Villette was lauded by George Eliot as “a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre”.
