Why You'll Love This

Charlotte Brontë suppressed this book after Anne died — hearing Jennings and Agutter perform it makes that feel like a genuine crime.

  • Great if you want: a Victorian feminist story with real moral fury
  • Listening experience: slow-building Gothic drama with a deeply satisfying second half
  • Narration: Jennings and Agutter split the epistolary layers naturally and compellingly
  • Skip if: you find 19th-century narrative framing devices frustrating
