I am a great fan of Charlotte Bronte and decided I should give her sister Anne a go, we don't hear much about her. Well, well, why is this book not rated more highly more often? It's not a tale for the faint hearted, as it recounts an abusive marriage. However, it's not all doom and gloom as there's also a sweet romance to follow.
Anne Bronte must have taken inspiration from experience of her brother's alcoholism and the effect it had on those around him and I would also guess she had witnessed domestic abuse, as it follows a fairly classic pattern. Bear in mind she wouldn't have had access to the kind of media generated factual and fictional accounts of such relationships that we have now. Perhaps she saw something when she was a governess.
This was much better than I was expecting it to be. There's so much emphasis on Charlotte and Emily Bronte that I think Anne has been shamefully over-shaddowed. She holds her own along side her sisters with this book and she raises many issues that would have been quite unspeakable in their time.
Even if you're not a Bronte fan, this is well worth a read.

Should be better known. A vivid picture of a bad marriage. The "hero" is a wimp but it is an excellent read otherwise. Quite unlike Jane Austin! (I do love Jane too.)

I downloaded this free for my wife's Kindle. However, not having yet read it, I can't say what it's like, but it was free!.

There is such a thing as looking through a persons eyes into the heart, and learning more of the height, and breadth, and depth of anothers soul in one hour than it might take you a lifetime to discover, if he or she were not disposed to reveal it, or if you had not the sense to understand it.
