About this audiobook
In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Brontë created a strong, modern heroine who challenged the prevailing morals and politics of the Victorian era.
When Helen Graham shut her bedroom door on her abusive, drunken husband, it was a door-slam heard around the world. Escaping to Wildfell Hall after a loveless marriage, Helen, the mysterious tenant, lives in quiet seclusion, but her reclusive nature quickly becomes the subject of local gossip.
Gilbert Markham, a young farmer, becomes intrigued with Ms Graham and soon discovers the shocking secrets of her dark past...

Anne Bronte
Anne Brontë (1820–1849) hailed from an English literary family responsible for some of the medium’s most memorable works. She was the youngest of six children that included sisters, Charlotte and Emily. Their father was a clergyman, who raised them in a parish with very little money. As an adult, Anne took a position as a governess to financially support herself but found the position difficult and unfulfilling. In 1846, she and her sisters published a collection of poetry called Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, which marked a humble beginning to a short yet impactful career.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Loved the story, but this audiobook was not good! I liked the narrators all right, but they skipped huge chunks of the novel! So much for unabridged...

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5the narrators are good HOWEVER this is the "mutilated" version of the novel and it doesn't say so anywhere so...
truly a bummer to realize this is the case after 42 of 53 chapters of the book4 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I binge-listened to this book! Brilliantly read. It was sometimes hard to follow which character was speaking while the man narrated, he didn't have the same voice range as the woman, but it was still an excellent listen. I think this is my first foray into Bronte; I'll definitely be seeking out more. Thanks for making this book available!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Suffering and not regretting one’s mistake even when is evident
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A magnificent piece of literature. I simply adore the novel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The most long winded, most melodramatic, least engaging of all the Brontë books, but still well worth the many hours of listening. The narration kept the interest going.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5After awhile the narrators voice makes you mad! It’s a decent story but exasperating as so many stories of the time are.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The greatest Bronte book of all, without any doubt at all.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was pleasant to listen to. Very much a Bronte book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5She does go on a bit, but it is a well written story.
