Villette
199 Installments
Following a family tragedy, Lucy Snowe travels to the fictional Belgian city of Villette to take a job in a girls’ school. Lucy is a wonderfully secretive and unreliable narrator, and the plot twists genuinely surprising, but the book is most celebrated today for its prescient exploration of psychological repression and gender roles.

I love Charlotte Bronte's plain and grumpy little heroines, and with 'Villette' she made me care enough about Lucy to actually cry rather hard at the ending of the book.

I enjoyed this book and the various twists and turns of the story, however, I found it extremely difficult to warm up to the character Lucy. Although I understand that her nature was to be private and standoffish, she at times appeared to be rude and unfriendly, certainly not someone I would befriend in real life.
