this book is gonna make me frow up I can feel it
some ADVANCED yearning and anxious attachment and self-loathing in here and that speaks to me
I am deeply afraid that the story about the 6 y/o girl loving a 16 y/o boy at the beginning will have been foreshadowing and I can imagine NO WORSE REASON FOR UNREQUITED LOVE

I love Charlotte Bronte bc it grounds me to see my own emotions reflected in characters written almost 200 years ago. The universality of human experience and feeling and love astounds me, and this book, like Jane Eyre, delivers on that count. Lucy Snowe is a fascinating narrator.
Defo has a lot of untranslated French dialogue in it, so be warned.
