Findara Mcavinchey finnmcavinb695 — The first time I read this book, I hated it. I think because I read it when I was in the 5th grade, and therefore too young to appreciate the skill and beauty that the book is written with. Bronte's Gothic tale is a masterpiece. It is haunting and vivid. If you haven't read because you are afraid it will be dense and stuffy, fear not. It is an excellent novel by one of the best women authors.

Btaa Photoshop mahmoud_rabie — I wasn't expecting to like this book. It was one of two books up for this month to read for a group I recently joined, and neither one of them sounded that interesting. But I chose this one because I preferred the cover. Yeah, yeah... From the description, I thought it would be preachy and moralistic and ... you know, one of those books with an agenda where the actual story is secondary. But that is totally not the case. This book is very well written and makes excellent use of the dual narrator technique, switching back and forth between Lavinia, who is young, innocent and naive, and Belle, who is older and hasn't been spared the tragedies of the world. To Belle, it is obvious that the biggest difference between the two of them is that Belle is half black and a slave, whereas Lavinia is white and an indentured servant who ended up that way as an orphan. Lavinia doesn't realize that different colors mean anything (having grown up to the ripe old age of 7 in Ireland, she was presumably spared the brainwashing), and she views Belle (and the other slaves) as her family. Lavinia is often spared the truth to save her innocence. When she asks questions about things happening around her, people often reply that she will find out soon enough, and don't explain. But she never does figure it out on her own, and the lack of knowledge leads her to make some decisions that change everyone's lives forever. To be honest, most of the things in this book are caused because people refuse to be honest with each other, or don't push the issue and tell things that need to be told. (view spoiler) There are other cases of this as well, but these are the big plot-important ones. In the end, I found all the characters to be likable at some point during the book (well, except Rankin and the tutor...) and even felt a little bad for Marshall, although I have to admit I am REALLY unclear about his motives for his choice of wife. He had SEEN how she interacted with everyone in the past - did he really expect this to change? Some parts of the book were really, really awful, and brought up strong emotions with me. Lots of violence, often of a sexual nature (but not always). There was an awful lot of death. I'm impressed with the author's research, especially dealing with current events in the time period, and I enjoyed reading the different dialects. Definitely recommend reading this one at least once.
