By far the driest Brontë book

Someone told Anne to write about what she knows, and she did just that. Unfortunately, it reads like a newspaper.

I dropped the stone upon his intended victims and crushed them flat beneath it

wtf..................

The mother had an abundance of devil spawns, it's almost ridiculous

the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock—a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth
