Charlotte Bronte
Villette
Audio CD
(Blackstone Audio Inc. June 1, 2007)
, Unabridged edition
Arguably Charlotte Brontë's most deeply felt work, Villette draws on her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings.
Left by harrowing circumstances to fend for herself in the great capital of a foreign country, Lucy Snowe, the narrator and heroine of Villette, achieves by degrees her independence from both outer necessity and inward grief. Lucy flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a French boarding school in the cosmopolitan capital of Villette. But her struggle for independence is soon overshadowed by her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. Brontë's strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.
