Kinda sucks to be a woman, and boy is she a putz. ( ) My daughter and I read this together as a "book project"- we are catching up on the books we've been meaning to read. I liked it more than I expected. It is considered one of the first feminist books. I can see that. It is a bit melodramatic, although perhaps not as much as the works of her sisters, such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. It does give an interesting perspective on well-to-do English gentlemen who do not have any purpose but to drink, hunt, and gamble! "You would have us encourage our sons to prove all things by their own experience, while our daughters must not even profit by the experience of others."

This book has been on my TBR forever. I enjoyed it! A tale of a young woman who marries against all advice because she believes she can change someone. This book may be old but it is still very relevant. What is old is the options that were or were not available. The dignity and "manners" that no longer exist. It is told over a long period of time and includes the use of diaries to provide background. A book that was probably ahead of its time. If she were anyone else, Ann Bronte would be highly admired, but she is relegated to being Charlotte and Emily's sister. While I admire Emily's artistry more, I walk away more satisfied from Tenant then from Wurthering. A realistic early depiction of alcoholism and abusive relationships that was well ahead of it's time I wish the middle had been much, much shorter. Very repetitive, and the protagonists were each over-the-top good or over-the-top bad. I was drawn in by the beginning section; it felt like it was going to be a slightly humorous family light comic novel. Bait & switch! It's PAMELA/CLARISSA all over again. But I'd try another Bronte.
"profane expressions, inconceivably coarse language, and revolting scenes and descriptions by which its pages are disfigured" "a morbid love for the coarse, not to say the brutal" "The reader of Acton Bell gains no enlarged view of mankind, giving a healthy action to his sympathies, but is confined to a narrow space of life, and held down, as it were, by main force, to witness the wolfish side of his nature literally and logically set forth." [English] society owes thanks, not sneers, to those who dare to shew her the image of her own ugly, hypocritical visage". "...like the fatal melody of the siren's song, its very perfections render it more dangerous, and therefore more carefully to be avoided." Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Is opgenomen inVillette.
