Helen is my favourite Bronte heroine. Anne Bronte took a brave step to write such a strong character with such determination to break free from a bad marriage against the times social mores.
i really liked it. the second half of the book, i.e. the part the -spoiler- reading of helen's manuscript -end spoiler- slows the pace down alot, which i would say is my biggest problem with it. but very enjoyable regarless.
