Staff Reviews
Romance novel? Feminist manifesto? However you view it, this is a gripping novel which dared to expose the double standards and injustices suffered by women in 19th century England. Replete with intrigue, love, pain, infidelity and debauchery, this page turner unfolds in Brontë's elegant, very readable prose.
— SamanthaDescription
Gilbert Markham narrates how a mysterious widow, Mrs. Helen Graham, arrives at Wildfell Hall, a nearby old mansion. A source of curiosity for the small community, the reticent Mrs Graham and her young son Arthur are slowly drawn into the social circles of the village. Initially, Gilbert Markham casually courts Eliza Millward, despite his mother's belief that he can do better. His interest in Eliza wanes as he comes to know Mrs. Graham. In retribution, Eliza spreads (and perhaps creates) scandalous rumors about Helen.
