1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
'Reader, if you're ready, so am I.' These witty vignettes, set in Charlotte Brontë's imaginary world of Angria, feature debauched aristocrats, high-society courtesans and the rakish, brooding hero Zamorna, and offer a fascinating insight into Brontë's early writing. One of 46 new books in the bestselling Little Black Classics series, to celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives readers a taste of the Classics' huge range and diversity, with works from around the world and across the centuries - including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.

Stancliffe's Hotel | Charlotte Brontë
Mehso-so

I'm not sure what to think of this book! It doesn't really seem to have a story, just a few scenes in this fictional world. Some are funny, some a little confusing. I didn't really know who the characters were because it's such a short book (and I'm too lazy to keep checking the dramatis personae).
3 stars, maybe 2,5?
