- Synopsis
- "A still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre." -George Eliot "Her best novel." -Virginia Woolf 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 city of Villette.Lucy Snowe is a young woman alone in the world. Running from a dark past, with no home, no family, and no prospects, Lucy trades her English homeland for the French-speaking city of Villette. She finds work at a boarding school for girls, where she encounters both intrigue and isolation. When a handsome man from her past appears in Villette, Lucy believes she may at last be free of loneliness--if her rigorous self-control doesn't thwart her true hopes. 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.
