Charlotte Brontë
Following the tremendous success of Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë returned to pen a novel every bit as romantic and compelling as her first, but with deeper, heartier themes as she captured the social and political currents of the newly industrialized United Kingdom of 1812. Set in a chaotic time in England, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Caroline Helstone's world is turned upside down when she meets the vivacious Shirley Keeldar. Shirley becomes a beacon of light for Caroline as the two become close friends. However, Caroline is soon shocked to discover that Shirley has won the affections of Robert Moore, the impoverished mill owner whom she loves. Fully representative of Yorkshire life at the time, Brontë's second novel is completely gripping, unrelenting and utterly wrenching in its portrayal.

So enjoyable

At first, I was put off by the excessive sagacity-in-dialog, but in my second pass through, I decided that, ala Shakespeare, the perceptions, interactions and converse were highly stylized versions of what people might really say to each other. Maybe as they would have said things after a period of reflection. When was the last time you saw a modern soliloquy? And I thus enjoyed them as a counterpoint to the fast-paced shallow interactions that surround us today in popular literature and media.
