Author: Charlotte Bronte
Charlotte
Bronte’s final and most autobiographical novel—even more critically acclaimed
than Jane Eyre during its time—is a brilliant story of repressed passion and
unrequited love in the fictional French town of Villette
Lucy Snowe is a
young woman alone in the world after a terrible event of which she never
speaks. With no home, no family, and no prospects, she sets out on her own to
the small French town of Villette, where she finds work as a governess at a
boarding school for girls. When a handsome doctor from her past appears in
Villette, Lucy believes she may at last be free of loneliness—if her rigorous
self-control doesn’t conceal her true feelings.
Based on Charlotte
Bronte’s own experiences at a boarding school in Belgium, Villette is an
intense psychological portrait of its heroine, a woman who so strenuously tries
to hide her passions that she cannot help but reveal them.
