Drawn to the school's headmaster, Lucy must face the pain of unrequited love and the question of her place in society.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RFor &&LI&&RVillette&&L/I&&R, Bront??? drew upon her own experiences ten years earlier, when she studied in Brussels and developed an unreciprocated passion for her married teacher. The novel also reflects her devastating sense of loss and isolation after the deaths of her beloved brother and sisters, and her confusion and conflicts over the fame she achieved for having written &&LI&&RJane Eyre&&L/I&&R.
