The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

The mysterious new tenant of Wildfell Hall is a strong-minded woman who keeps her own counsel. Helen 'Graham' - exiled with her child to the desolate moorland mansion, adopting an assumed name and earning her living as a painter - has returned to Wildfell Hall in flight from a disastrous marriage. Narrated by her neighbour Gilbert Markham, and in the pages of her own diary, the novel portrays Helen's eloquent struggle for independence at a time when the law and society defined a married woman as her husband's property.

It's no Jane Eyre, but entertaining enough.

Muito bom já começar 2021 lendo um livro maravilhoso e que rapidamente se tornou um favorito. Wildfell Hall é uma obra extremamente atual que explora temas como vício, relacionamento abusivo e a desconstrução da ideia de que o homem tóxico irá "mudar por você". Definitivamente Anne se tornou uma das minhas Brontës favoritas, apesar de Morro dos Ventos Uivantes ainda ser o meu queridinho. Agora estou com altíssimas expectativas para esse ano de leituras... ops.
