" At first I was really interested in the mysterios Mrs Graham but as her storr progressed i felt it dragged on it and considering it was supposed to be in the form of a long letter it should have been much shorter. The excessive detail thus demerits this novel. "

" I LOVED this book. Just loved it. Helen is amazing (Gilbert's a wet blanket, but so what) and Arthur a tyrant of the highest order. I can't imagine the impact this had on Victorian society. What the hell were the Bronte women on up there in Haworth? What a fantastic bunch of crypto-feminist geniuses. "

" A thought provoking novel about a bright, independent woman who marries too young. Her husband's alcoholic philaderings destroy her happiness and his verbal abuse and in turn neglectfulness overwhelms her in a sorrowful, and lonely life. This novel leads the reader to serious thoughts on women's rights to property, finances and divorce that was denied them not so many years ago. "

" I really really enjoyed reading this, and couldn't put it down until it was done. The Bronte sisters are all just fantastic. :) She had me completely hating some characters, and sympathizing with others. "

" That was a FANTASTIC book. I highly recommend it. Another wonderful example of the Bronte staunchly virtuous heroine. Dawn: YOU WOULD LOVE THIS ONE I THINK. "

" I'm not sure what I think of this novel. Intriguing, yes. Compelling, yes. Well written, yes. Still, it left me somewhat uncomfortable and unfulfilled. I found myself disliking the main character. How can one truly enjoy a novel in which the heroine is so distasteful? "

" I had high hopes for this one and it started out good but completely fell apart in the middle due to the worst/longest diary entry of all time. It completely derailed the book and it never recovered. There's a good romance story in their though, if you can make it to the end. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I loved the strength and courage of Helen, and the way the story was written in the form of letters and diary entries. I also thought the ending was lovely and I'm so glad I finally read this! "

" I love the language in this book, did people really talk so properly back then? Ah, if only we could use half of the proper words they used back then. This book was a bit slow at times but rewarding. "
