First off, I like the classics a lot, the wordiness doesn't bother me, so if you are like me I think you will like it. It has a lot more humor in the story than Jane Eyre did and I like the character Lucy Snowe a lot.

Actually, our lists are somewhat similiar. Take a look at my listings to add to your list and at sometime in the future I'll be checking yours. It's my understanding that this book is semi autobiography. Does that sound about right to you?

I did take a look at your list and your profile and we do have quite a few books in common! I understood Villette to be somewhat autobiographical.
