The Tenant of Wildfell Hall “So scandalous” was all I could think of while watching. I’ve read Wuthering Heights, didn’t especially like it (too many obstacles :’( ); read (lol was a graphic novel with original text) Jane Eyre, liked it a bit better; but I think I like Anne Bronte’s book the most.  Helen is so headstrong and has so many morals. She’s like the perfect woman if you’re not a jerk, etc. Well, she’s very very heroic and selfless. Lisbeth Salander somewhat reminds me of her. Yes she’s made a very grave mistake in marrying Huntingdon, but at least she’s aware of how abusive he is and how it’s wrong and how she has to escape. Very good. And she actually runs away a few times successfully.  There was so much kissing in this series I was kind of….well, whenever Rupert Graves was on screen kissing, I’d mute it. LOL it kind of got gross after a while. Also, I know this was a different time period than Jane Austen’s, but did people kiss in public that often then? Or was it ok because it was in a secluded area? I love the happy romantic ending :D I need to read the book. I think I’ll like it a lot.
