The tenant of Wildfell Hall

Tiresome, moralistic Jane Austen fan fiction. The worst of the Brontes. Still better than a lot of nonsense that's out there, but I was honestly waiting for it to come together somehow, or surprise me, or do anything than being this bizarrely morally didactic marriage plot. The long-suffering heroine would be perfectly at home in a de Sade story, including getting punished for all her stupid good deeds, but there's a happy ending.

Unless you're really into Brontes don't read this. Read Vilette, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights first, in any case.
