Helpful Score: 8

I read this book because of my enjoyment with Jane Eyre and her sister's book Wuthering Heights. I can not compare this with them. It is a slow moving and laborious read. If you do not have a command of the French language you miss a lot of the dialog through out the book. It is about a young woman of good family who's family has lost their fortune. She ends up in France and the story goes from there. It is not until the last 100 pages or so that what you have trudged through comes to light. Only then does it get a little interesting. A disappointment, however, if you do not have another book pressing in on you to read attempt this one, just to say you have read it. : )
