Another wonderfully eloquent novel by Charlotte Bronte. It is said that she had difficulty getting a publisher for this novel due to its ordinary story of that time. I found it relevent for anyone looking for that special vocation, or someone in their life, and the struggles that go along with "the everyday life". Also of course it is a book for anyone who is in love with finely written literature. The Bronte sisters are awesome and rereading Jane Eyre brought me back to them- this was then the second one I read. I am reading Agnes Gray right now than Emma up next.

The Professor
This early story is one of the everyday life of a schoolteacher. Don't look for any suspense or action; you won't find it. Yet this seemingly mundane manuscript will still hold your interest.

Emma
A bonus in this publication is the inclusion of three chapters of an unfinished work: a must read for any admirer of Bronte.
