This was brilliant! Having just read the Bronte biography I felt it was high time I read an Anne Bronte book. She seemed the quiet and almost nondescript sister.. I was never enthusiastic about reading her books, but wow I was wrong. This was dynamite at the time it was first published.. shock and horror.. a strong woman doing unheard of things... like leaving her abusive husband... supporting herself.. having a mind of her own! It was excellent...Anne had a lot going on in that head of hers despite being quiet and dutiful! Fantastic nail biting end too.
I loved that it had that moor climate and feel to it.. that it was toe curlingly painful to see what was happening and just the delightful Bronte sensibility. I loved it!

This is added weeks after finishing the book...just to say that the story has not left me..I have put this book on my favourites book shelf. An honoured place
