A beautiful edition of Anne Bronte’s most enduring novel, to accompany her sisters’ greatest books in Penguin Clothbound Classics

Gilbert Markham is deeply intrigued by Helen Graham, a beautiful and secretive young woman who has moved into nearby Wildfell Hall with her young son. He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive behaviour becomes the subject of local gossip and speculation, Gilbert begins to wonder whether his trust in her has been misplaced.

Anne Bronte’s powerful novel is an exploration of a woman’s struggle for creative freedom and domestic independence, and disturbed many readers on first publication, including her own sister Charlotte.
