I honestly am astonished that I absolutely love this book...even more than Jane Eyre--which is one of my favorite books.

After also recently reading 'Agnes Grey' recently, I desperately wanted to read 'Tenant'. I'm so glad that I did. This was an incredible story that touches on so many issues that are relevant now. Bad marriage, abuse, violence, debauchery, jealousy, infidelity. I found myself sympathizing for Helen ...
