With no family and no money, Lucy Snowe crosses the Channel to the city of Villette and talks her way into a post at Madame Beck’s girls’ school, where every drawer is searched and every letter read. Watchful and guarded, she narrates her growing feelings for the handsome English doctor Dr John and her stormy dealings with the fiery little professor M. Paul Emanuel.
Drawn from Charlotte Brontë’s own years in Brussels, it is her most intense and psychologically daring novel. Download the free EPUB.
