With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls’ boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, her own complex feelings, first for the school’s English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emmanuel.
