This book wasn't on my initial selection, but I found it as a recorded book at our local library. THEN I went to a bookshelf where I have the books I received as prizes at school, and then found it there too! As you can tell from my blog I love stitching, so I decided to listen to the recorded book while stitching.
I can see why Charlotte had a hard time getting this into print. It just doesn't have the special something that Jane Eyre has. In fact I think that this is because you can't really get close to the main character, in fact you hardly find out much about his character. I did persevere and finished it last night, but I wouldnt really recommend it as there isn't a lot of plot and the characters aren't people who seem real either. Anyway I'm glad I read it as its good to see how authors began even if there wasn't the magic of a classic.
Now I'll have to see what to do next on the challenge.
