Such a shame

It's heartbreaking to know that Charlotte never had the chance to finish this. Just from these two chapters I am drawn in, it's reminiscent of Jane Eyre and Villette in turns of character and intrigue and it's horrifying to know I will never get the finish thing as she meant it to be. Thackerays preface is perfect and 100% does Charlotte justice
