Review originally at Gypsy ReviewsI am a big fan of the Brontë sisters (except Emily, I was not fond of Wuthering Heights) and was nonetheless expecting much from this book and it did not disappoint.The story starts out as a letter written to someone named Halford and by the hand of Gilbert Markham ...
I honestly am astonished that I absolutely love this book...even more than Jane Eyre--which is one of my favorite books. I can't believe that some early reviewers believed the book "mistakenly interpreted Anne's warning of the danger of debauchery as an approval of dissipation." And Gilbert, coars...
No quiero menospreciar a sus maravillosas hermanas , pero es Esta , ésta Bronte , la que tendría que haber triunfado más que ninguna . ¿Tienen ganas de leer un libro feminista?Prueben con este y maravillense .
