I finished Middlemarch last week and turned straight to Kipling's odd and peculiar fairy-stories with a historical basis: Puck of Puck's Hill. I enjoyed it very much and it has left me hungry for more.
However, now I have moved onto this long-lost last novel by Charlotte Bronte. It's very enjoyable, especially the odd opening chapters which concen Polly, the doll-sized, grave and inscrutable child of the teacher Paul Emmanuel. It's intriguing and satisfying - not yet as deeply seductive as Jane Eyre, but I will keep you posted.
