People often say that novels about people visiting other people’s houses are boring and lack intrigue. However, this novel was anything but. While there’s obviously little action, the contents was captivating and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. I loved all the characters (excluding Arthur, of course) and thought the relationships to be interesting and unique. I enjoyed how religious Helen was and thought it added a lot to the story. Anne Brontë’s writing was beautiful, less poetic than her sisters’, but still enjoyable.
