Publisher Description

Anne Bronte's novel is the story of the beautiful and mysterious Helen Graham, who arrives at Wildfell Hall suddenly one day. No one knows who she is or where she has come from, and Gilbert Markham, a young farmer who has fallen in love with her, sets out to find some answers. This is an ambitious and successful work that is a real pleasure to listen to.

"Quite an interesting story. Liked it far better than Jane Eyre, but not nearly as much as Wuthering Heights. Still, this was a brave undertaking for Anne as she lets it rip on the men of Victorian society who expect their wives to stay & tend the home while they go out drinking, fighting & engaging in extramarital affairs. This is about a woman who is openly dissatisfied with such a marriage, flees it, and is able to have a happy, successful life afterwards. It's too bad no one of the era could take a leaf out of Anne's book. She's clearly years ahead of her time."

    " As a lover of 19th century British literature I knew I'd enjoy this book, but did not expect to love it as much as I did. Couldn't put it down! "

    " A novel ahead of its time the "tenant" is an independent woman in the early 19th Century, a situation too shocking even for the author's own sister Charlotte, who thought the choice of subject was a mistake. "

    " Exceptionally written, but the theme was a bit aggravating for my "modern" views. The book is a great insight on the differences between men and women of that age and their beliefs on love, duty, and family. Definitely a feminist take on the story and very enlightening. I liked it, I learned from it, but I did not love it, though from no fault of the author. "

    " I would have enjoyed this book so much more if it weren't so preachy. It started strong, however, and I really enjoyed some of the dialog early in the book. "

    " a classic Victorian era romance. the star crossed lovers with sorts pasts is somehow so great despite how many austen-ish authors write it. This month of June is an Austen-ish month for me. Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice (again), and North and South are on my list of want to reads. "

    " Anne Bronte is not as skilled in creating atmosphere, intrigue or romance as her sisters. This reads more like a moral play. Okay at best. "

    " My favourite of the Bronte sisters and my all time favourite book... For me it is so much more exciting, well written and beautiful than Wuthering Heights. READ THIS BOOK. "

    " Improbably framed within (mostly) one long letter, this book was nonetheless as Bronte-lovelyish as I could have wished. "

    " Enjoyed reading for the most part. Sometimes rather tedious and silly but had some interesting dialogue that was thought provoking. "

    " I'm having trouble putting this down! I just love the Bronte sisters, so much drama, passion and conflict. Like soap operas from a couple hundred years ago "
