The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Abridged) Audiobook

" Really loved this book - have ordered the movie and hope to get it soon. "

" This book has been described as the first feminist novel and I can agree. It is almost impossible for me to imagine a time in which a women was obliged to submit to a demeaning and abusive relationship due to "social conventions". Mrs. Huntington's willingness to defy societies absurd definition of a woman's obligation to her husband in order to save herself and her child is truly admirable. "

" Very enjoyable! I wanted to give Gilbert a whack every once in a while, but I think Anne did an excellent job chronicling a very difficult situation. "

" Anne Bronte is the most underrated of the sisters. While Wuthering Heights is melodrama and passion, and Jane Eyre is morality versus happiness, Wildfell is actually all these things at once. It doesn't quite take JE's place in my heart, but I think that's because Charlotte got to me first - a grown-up Bronte book that matches its sisters, and in some ways out does them. "

" Did not expect to fall in love with this book, but I did! A great look at society in the 19th Century, the role and relationships between men and women... And with such clarity. It was a very interesting and engrossing read. "

" Good read. If at all accurate (and I have no reason to think otherwise), amazing picture of plight of women in the 1800s. Overall well written, engaging characters, and reasonable (although somewhat slow) plot. "

" Anne Bronte surpasses her sisters.. "

" This book took me forever to read. It was incredibly detailed with long, laborious descriptions as classical books sometimes tend to be. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed the book overall. The writing made it easy to transition from past and present and between narrators. "

" A lot lighter reading than others by the Bronte's. And short too. A little bit of mystery, and a lot of romance. "

" 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 "

" Not my favorite Bronte, I guess. "

" Definitely one to read again. "

" It was OK. Not as good as Jane Eyre. And I had forgotten how 19th century writers go on, and on, and on... "

" I loved this book. I did skip the sermon-like paragraphs, which might make me a bad Victorianist, but it was at times George Eliot-like didacticism. Anne wrote a better heroine than Emily or Charlotte, though my heart will always belong to Jane and Mr. Rochester. "

" If anything can disprove how terribly underrated Anne is perceived to be in comparison to her sisters, Tenant has done so. This work has far surpassed my expectations and has grasped a firm hold of my heart. I do not mean to say it is flawless, but Anne truly has created a lasting masterpiece. "

" I really enjoyed this book - there is a feminist message. "

" Any book that can make you feel happy/angry/sad for the character is a darn good book in my library, and this one does it throughout. "

" One of my top three favourite classics. It has a strong feminist message. Very unusally for the time it was written. "
