A review by miajakobsen
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

funny mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

This novel was criticized during its time because it challenged Victorian-era morals. The themes of alcoholism, gender conventions, abuse, and marriage make The Tenant one of the first modern feminist novels. The history and themes behind the novel are very interesting, and I'm so glad that one of my professors mentioned it, because I immediately put it on my TBR list after. Well, I ended up really loving this book: Brontë’s writing is beautiful - and quite humorous - and the story is extremely compelling.
