Fleeing a disastrous marriage, Helen Huntingdon retreats to the desolate mansion, Wildfell Hall, with her son, Arthur. There, she makes her living as a painter. Finding it difficult to avoid her neighbors, she is soon an object of speculation and gossip. Brontë portrays Helen's eloquent struggle for independence at a time when society defined a married woman as her husband's property.

Enjoyable but not moving.

A little too moralising throughout - a quality absent in such overt quantities in other Brontë sister's books- such as Wuthering Heights.

Eloquently and well written , although some passages closely resembled similar scenes from Austen's work.

I do not feel any of the characters really achieved any solidity or brilliance of personality, like Cathy or Heathcliff, but rather recited sermons or philosophiphied from writ. The husband character is quite convincing, though predictable.

In the scheme of things a very good book worthy of reading but it has failed to win my heart or transport my imagination.
