Villette, by Charlotte Bronte

Here are my notes just after reading this:

--rather dull, actually
--confusing structure (I do see the genius in it, but I don't like it)
--obfuscating of narrator (hiding things from us: not fair!)
--modern feminists have made this book popular, I'm sure (woman is heroine of her own story)

And there we have it.
