I loved this book but was annoyed at the amount of French in it. I had to keep switching between the book and the translator, copying and pasting. It would be great if iBooks had a translate feature within the app like it does for define. Still, I would definitely recommend if you are a fan of the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen. It is a very long book, so make sure you have plenty of time on the horizon to read it.
edits would greatly improve this
I would happly cut out 1/3 of the story. I was more than 1/2 way through when I determined most of the begining was irrelivant.
Love it!
I love this book and the heartwarming sadness that goes with it. To all the people worried about the french, I got one with translations in the back. I love how this book is typical for 19th century writing but also can easily change your opinion on characters. I love how even though I couldn’t relate to Lucy Snowe, I could understand what she was going through. In the last few chapters I really cried...that means a lot coming from me.
