Book Review of The Madwoman Upstairs

The Madwoman Upstairs
reviewed on + 1155 more book reviews


This was an interesting mix of literary criticism discussions (do you consider the author's biography when reading her work), a scavenger hunt through Oxford (is there an inheritance), and a coming of age story for a home schooled descendent of the Brontes. I was impressed at how the author let us learn things about the protagonist's life that she herself was not fully aware of. I'm looking forward to having a book group discussion to see what other people thought about it.
