Hi man, I just finished the book and I love your review. well done and keep up the good work

[@Sandiejassie077]

It took me a while to start appreciating the book. It was a bit slow at first and I put it away and started reading another book. Now I got back to reading the book and I can't seem to put it down. I am amazed at how much I am enjoying it. Had to come and listen to your review and it did not disappoint, thank you:)

[@theahashobbies]

Just finished this whirlwind of a book. Was honestly a little skeptical at first, since I prefer Charlotte above all the other Brontes, but this book definitely grew on me. Fantastic review!

[@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall]

Glad you enjoyed it in the end! :)

Excellent review. I am not a native speaker (I live in England though), but I loved the language. It is really, really beautiful despite being dated. It is also very interesting from pure academic point of view. How words and phrases have changed. I have read tons of English classics in my mother language, but this was the first I read in English, and the language was a delight. In terms of the novel itself, I agree to great extent. My main displeasure is with the middle part. I felt it dragged. There are lenghthy accounts of some sub-sub-sub plots lol. Also, there are some points that she repeatedly make. Ok! we got the point! first time around!. But, overall, I throughly enjoyed it, and I would certainly recommend it. I also agree that she is really underrated amongst her sisters (What an amazing trio!!!). Have you read Agnes Grey? I am seriously thinking of picking it at some point.

[@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall]

Yeah I would say I may agree with the middle being a bit of a slump, but then I like that sense of frustration because it probably mirrors how Helen feels trapped in her marriage. I haven't read Agnes Grey yet, I hear it's not as good as this one, but I'm still looking forward to picking it up at some point. I might even do a ranking of the Bronté novels once I've read all of them.

@@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall Reminds me of "Madame Bovary". When I complained about the boring start, I was told the author done it on purpose to show you how bored she was with her life lol.

@@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall Agnes Grey (and The Professor) is a much simplier book, I really enjoyed it though.

[@user-ex5fg6be3e]

I wanna ask you about this novel, is it a feminist novel ?

[@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall]

It certainly has feminist themes, the central focus being a female character who is trying to make a living as an independent person, after finding herself trapped in a marriage where the power balance is unequal. That being said I wouldn't be inclined to say it is primarily a feminist novel, because historically I think it predates the movement (I think), and there are also themes about freedom or autonomy that go beyond feminist themes, so I wouldn't want to overlook those. But yeah, overall a pretty feminist novel. :)

Joshua J Clarke-Kelsall thank you so much

[@user-ex5fg6be3e]

Joshua J Clarke-Kelsall It’s for my graduation project, I need to find a writer who wrote about feminism in victorian age

[@JoshuaJClarkeKelsall]

@@user-ex5fg6be3e I'd say this wouldn't be a bad choice for a book of that kind for that sort of essay.

[@drpatrickbarry]

@@user-ex5fg6be3e Another Bronte book "shirley" has a strong female lead.
