Yazar : Anne Bronte
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the second and final novel by the English author Anne Brontë. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne's death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events leading to his meeting his wife. A mysterious young widow arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and servant. She lives there in strict seclusion under the assumed name Helen Graham and very soon finds herself the victim of local slander. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert Markham, a young farmer, discovers her dark secrets. In her diary, Helen writes about her husband's physical and moral decline through alcohol, and the world of debauchery and cruelty from which she has fled. This novel of marital betrayal is set within a moral framework tempered by Anne's optimistic belief in universal salvation Daha az göster. Author: Anne Bronte. Publisher: Independently published.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
I know the emphasis was on Patrick but I really identified more with Whiskey. Patrick's father doesn't understand him and thinks he is a total screw up. Whiskey is a lonely man who is a wanderer. I loved how the author put these two together. They may seem worlds apart but are really very similar. Patrick needs to care for someone and someone to believe in him. Whiskey knows enough about science to understand Patrick's condition and needs a reason to stop wandering. It's a really funny but loving story. The setting and the characters were vivid and well described. You have to love the inclusion of the frogs. Most wouldn't care about these poor frogs but the mean a lot to these men. (My daughter is also a big sucker for frogs.)
