Although I can see why Villette is less popular than Jane Eyre, I think it is equally a masterpiece. The writing is brilliant and the characters are beautifully developed. Lucy Snowe is a fascinating enigma. Her character probably reflects the complexity of Charlotte Bronte herself. I question the wisdom of putting as much French in an English novel as Bronte put in Villette, but there are older editions available through Google books that have appendices with translations.
