About this listen

 With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls's boarding school in the small town of Villette. There, she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, a headmistress who spies on her staff, and her own complex feelings: first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor, Paul Emmanuel. Villette, Charlotte Brontë's last and most autobiographical novel, is a powerfully moving look at isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.(P)2005 Isis Publishing Ltd.

Any additional comments?

My reading experience was definitely hindered by the chapter sections not being accurate. After reading from my physical copy, it was so difficult to find my spot in the audiobook because the chapters aren't divided correctly. It was really frustrating! However, Karen Cass's voice was so soothing to listen to and she captured the characters' personalities so well!

Fix the chapter divisions!
