Last Brontë novel I have not yet read, excluding the Professor. In this work, Charlotte is back at the theme of young woman thrown upon the world, having to find her path. I quite like it, especially how Charlotte discusses the practicalities Lucy has to deal with, the watermen, her suitcase, Brussels (sorry, Villette) in the dark.

I am loving this so much more than I expected. Brontë is so good at describing social interactions, in a way it makes me think of Sally Rooney. I'm also totally invested in Lucy Snowe, I know she is an unreliable narrator but that's it so I'm very curious as to what will still be revealed about her and what is going to happen between her and M. Paul! Also, was she in love with Dr. John or was that never the idea?
