I just finished one of the most amazing biographies I've ever read in my life (Samantha Ellis on Anne Brontë), and I'm so gobsmacked I can't read any other Brontëana while I decompress.
I'm going to read the first two chapters of each of these books and see which to choose as a diversion.
#1 The Woodlanders, Thomas Hardy (It's considered his finest, and his favourite).
#2 Adam Bede, George Eliot (I love her, but haven't read this).
#3 The Professor, Charlotte Brontë (This doesn't count as Brontëana since it's an actual novel).
I think I need a novel after such a great biography.
My contest begins now. Opinions are welcomed.
