Not Quite Emily or Charlotte. The novel itself is interesting enough: the plot mostly related in the form of letters from the protagonist, the latter half made of his lover's diary. But the prose is awkward and stilted, the protagonist too effeminate and easy to hate. Were she not a Brontë sister I doubt anyone would know of this or Agnes Gray - as the introduction points out. One review said her "perfect prose" is as good as Austen's! No, not remotely, but fans of the other sisters and this period of literature will like it, or at least labor through to find out what happens to Gilbert and Helen, without feeling they've wasted too much time

Abridged. I was 25 chapters into this before I found out it’s a mutilated and abridged publication. A good book, for sure, but I’m annoyed to find out it’s not even the whole things. Entire passages are missing and even some chapters are almost completely omitted. The opening letter which somewhat serves as a prologue is removed, making the beginning of the book briefly confusing. The cover or somewhere in the description should make it clear that this is not a full edition, as I now am going to have to re-read half of the book. Try to find a download that says “First Edition” or “I. Edition” which has the book in its entirety. If the copy you get doesn’t start with, "To J. Halford, Esq. Dear Halford, when we were together last..." then it is an abridged edition.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Brilliant description of Helen and Gilbert’s thoughts and feelings;I have at times felt each and every one of these feelings; it makes me feel I am not alone.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This book is absolutely amazing. A must-read for any lover of the Bronte sisters or English literature.

Wonderful!!. Though Anne's second book was actually even more popular than her sister Charlotte's "Jane Eyre" at the time of its first publication, but Charlotte refused to support it; she felt that the character of Anne's husband Arthur was based on a relative who had an opium addiction.   Regardless, it is a wonderful novel, encompassing so many facets of literature - a love story, the story of a woman's growing into her own person, the community mores and life of an English village in the 1800s and a book about friendship. The female protagonist, Helen, ignores social boundaries when she becomes close friends with her servant. The remarkable thing about this is that this is NOT a book written later about those times; rather, it was written during the 1800s and yet Anne Bronte wrote it that way. The book goes back and forth between Helen's perspective and that of Gilbert, a friend who loves her from afar for many years. Helen depended on her faith in God to get her through her husband's affair with a family friend, and she admirably maintains her moral compass throughout the book. This was so refreshing when we live in a time when "Situationla Ethics" too often reigns supreme. Through it all, she also maintains her chaste relationship with Gilbert. Will Gilbert and Helen ever surmount their obstacles and be able to enjoy the rest of their lives together? I will not give away spoilers. Suffice it to say that this is a very moving book, and my favorite of all the Bronte sisters' works.

A+. Excellent and beautifully written…..can’t believe I haven’t read this before!

Great!. I can sum her work up in one sentence, Anne Brontë is absolutely amazing!

Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I didn't think anything could beat Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre, until I read this! Anne's very different to her sisters in terms of the themes she explores but it's an incredible, thought-provoking novel I only wish I'd read it sooner.

Loved it!. As a huge fan of Jane eyre -came along to fall in love with this book too - better than Agnes grey (which I wasn't a massive fan of tbh)

Bronte classic. It’s been a longtime since I read a Bronte book and This did not disappoint. It was however a little hard going, as the written word was of an age gone by, but persevere and you can gain from how she writes.
