I typically just read one book at a time unless it’s something I lose interest in, but want to return to it on & off. That’s how it was with ‘Wildfell Hall’.

In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Brontë tackles some difficult and controversial issues facing women of her time. She handles this delicate subject matter with grace and poise and creates a character I came to highly respect in Helen. I think I enjoyed this book just as much as Jane Eyre and I do believe Anne Brontë was every bit as talented as her more widely known sisters.
