Last week I started reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, after having finished Wuthering Heights by, her sister, Emily Brontë, neither of which I has previously read. I am making an effort to read some of the “Classics” which for one reason or another I have skipped over until now.
I am over halfway through Jane Eyre, and I am enjoying it much more than Wuthering Heights, which I struggled with, however, I wish I had some French to assist me with the conversations which involve Adèle, the little French girl to whom Jane is governess. It really can be limiting being monolingual!
It is easy see why Charlotte thoroughly revised and edited Emily’s Wuthering Heights after she passed away, for its second edition, as their styles are so different.
