Description

"Villette" by Charlotte Brontë is a novel published in 1853. After a family disaster, Lucy Snowe leaves England for the fictional European city of Villette to teach at a girls' school. There she encounters adventure, romance, and emotional turmoil as she navigates relationships with the enigmatic Professor Paul Emanuel and the charming Dr. John Graham Bretton. Drawing from Brontë's own experiences in Brussels, this introspective tale explores loneliness, unrequited love, and one woman's quest for independence in a foreign land.
