Hailed as an early and under-appreciated feminist classic, this novel by the youngest Brontë sister centers on a widow whose unconventional opinions and popularity with the local bachelors create a stir amongst her neighbors. Anne Brontë's realistic portrayal of adultery, alcoholism, and marital strife was an instant bestseller that scandalized critics and remains a moving indictment of the limited options available to mistreated wives at the time.
