(Cotswold Willow Publishing July 13, 2015)
After a family tragedy, Lucy Snowe is suddenly left alone and without the means to support herself. At first she stays with her grandmother, then becomes employed as a carer for a disabled lady, then she boards a ship and sails to France. Despite only knowing a smattering of French, she finds employment as a governess for a family in a French girls’ school. It is there that she meets the hot-headed and impatient Monsieur Paul and they become passionately attracted to each other.
Villette, is one of the finest regency romances in 19th century literature, with a wonderful gothic twist in the form of a restless Nun haunting the Pensionnat in which our heroine works.
This edition has been illustrated by John Jellicoe and has an active index of chapters for easy navigation.
George Eliot said of Villette "Villette! Villette! Have you read it? It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power."
Charlotte Bronte also wrote the novels, Shirley, The Professor, Jane Eyre and the unfinished Emma.
