This Edition Features● A Detailed Biography of Charlotte Brontë● A Fully Interactive Table of Contents● Superior Kindle FormattingWith neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster and her own complex feelings, first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emmanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Brontë’s last and most autobiographical novel is a powerfully moving study of isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.Seahorse Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in e-book production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

4.5 Charlotte Bronte's Villette
Villette is Charlotte Bronte's last work. It is like all Bronte novels difficult to understand. Not a great deal happens in it and what does happen happens very slowly, too slowly at times. The last third or so of the book was quite draggy at times. The main character of the novel is Lucy Snowe ...

4.0 Villette
I'm giving it four stars purely because it got me out of a reading rut. And most of it was good! The writing was beautiful and perfect. However, after all that flirting, banter slipping into French, and pet names--Lucy and Ginerva did not end up bumping uglies. I find that mightily atrocious.
