Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-26 00:00:00 Don Ruston Just finished reading this tonight. Spent every spare moment for the last few days trying to savour the last little bit of it. Boy, it's an amazing book! The last time I tried to read it I was 12 or 13 and it was a waste of time really. I don't know what it says about getting older that the misery and heartache of a young woman's life and search for love can be so much more appreciated! ;-) I really did enjoy it though and I think it brought a little blush to my cheek and a tear to my eye because I was reading it as a story of a 'woman' and not a girl any more and I read into it the struggles of a woman trying to define herself as herself even in the context of strong romantic passions and even stronger (who knows how deep these things go in such a conservative religious cultural climate?) religious feeling. I really appreciated all the writing and the intricacies of the twists and turns, which while still having that, ah what a coincidence! factor, were still very enjoyable and I think skillfully laid out. In the world of brainless predictable tv and films it is a pleasure to see something well crafted in terms of plot and nuance. I liked all the morality AND all the independence. Bronte's perspective in this character is reassuringly unique and hard headed. I like tough talking, hard headed but still seductive women and I certainly found one here! Bravo Charlotte Bronte.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-11 00:00:00 Jason Ridley Our library recently got this book and I just had to see what it was about. Charlotte Bronte was a favorite of mine. Jane Eyre was a pivotal read in my younger years. As was her sisters book, Wuthering Heights. This particular book outlines her life, simply, while also relaying the similarities and thought processes behind her writing and her life. It was incredibly well done! I loved reading it.
