![]() ![]() I didn’t like her at all at the beginning of the novel, but eventually I did begin to feel a lot more sympathetic towards her and this coincided with the point where I started to enjoy the story more. I think part of my problem with the first half of the book was that it took me a long time to warm to Lucy Snowe. She travels to Europe on her own and starts a new life teaching English to the girls at Madame Beck’s school in the city of Villette. Villette is the story of Lucy Snowe who, after an unspecified family tragedy, finds herself completely alone in the world. I ended up enjoying it, but sadly it was too late for this book to become another favourite. There was a point where I didn’t think I was going to be able to keep reading, but eventually things improved and I finally became immersed in the story. ![]() I wonder whether reading it along with other people would have helped, as there were times when I really started to lose the motivation to continue with the book. I actually read this book at the end of January and discovered too late that there was a readalong taking place in February/March. ![]() Unfortunately, for a long time Villette just wasn’t working for me and I’m not really sure why not. Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favourite books and although it has taken me a long time to get round to reading another Charlotte Bronte novel, I had high hopes for this one. ![]()
