From the author ofJane Eyre,a strikingly modern story of a young woman starting over-with an introduction by Weike Wang, PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of Chemistry"Villette!Villette! Have you read it?" exclaimed George Eliot when Charlotte Bronte's final novel appeared in 1853. "It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power."Arguably Charlotte Bronte's most refined and deeply felt work-Virginia Woolf called it Bronte's "finest novel"-Villettedraws on its author's own experiences as a governess, and her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings. It tells the story of parentless, friendless Lucy Snowe, who flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a boarding school in the small French town of Villette. Soon Lucy's struggle for independence is challenged by both her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. Bronte's strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spiritofresistance.AMERICAN INDIAN STORIES .THE AWAKENING .
