Villette

A new life beckons for Lucy Snowe. Leaving England and her past behind, she arrives in the French town of Villette, equipped only with a sharp tongue, a lively imagination, and an independent spirit.

She soon finds work as a teacher, coping with a fierce headmistress and a classroom of unruly, coquettish schoolgirls. But Villette has even greater challenges in store.

Lisa Evan's fast-moving adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's sensational, gothic tale features fire, storms, ghosts, unrequited love, and an intimate portrait of a bold and inspirational heroine.
