I love Charlotte Bronte bc it grounds me to see my own emotions reflected in characters written almost 200 years ago. The universality of human experience and feeling and love astounds me, and this book, like Jane Eyre, delivers on that count. Lucy Snowe is a fascinating narrator.

Defo has a lot of untranslated French dialogue in it, so be warned.

I did not remember every single character in this series being a chronically unobservant, smooth-brained, obnoxious, painfully unfunny teenager. Geez. This would 100% be a DNR if I didn't kind of care about how the increasingly obvious plot pans out.
