The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a novel by Anne Brontë told through letters and journal entries. Helen falls in love with a man not known for good character and grows to regret her marriage to him. It's a long, though engaging, book with a very slow-burn. The main characters are dynamic and infuriating at times. I resent the hasty resolution and the time spent on characters that dropped out of the story. It's a classic, classic work.
