{"product_id":"9781538025475","title":"Villette","description":"Villette is an 1853 novel written by English author Charlotte Brontë. After an unspecified family disaster, the protagonist Lucy Snowe travels from her native England to the fictional French-speaking city of Villette to teach at a girls' school, where she is drawn into adventure and romance.    Villette was Charlotte Brontë's fourth novel; it was preceded by and is a reworking of the posthumously published The Professor, her first novel, and then by Jane Eyre and Shirley.    Lucy Snowe, the narrator and main character of Villette, is a quiet, self-reliant, intelligent, 23-year-old woman. Lucy has, as Miss Ginevra Fanshawe asserts, \"no attractive accomplishments – no beauty.\" She seems to have no living relatives.    Though usually reserved and emotionally self-controlled, Lucy has strong feelings and affections for those whom she really values. She even sincerely cares for the giddy Ginevra, albeit in a blunt, curmudgeonly fashion.","brand":"NOOK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064555913456,"sku":"9781538025475","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781538025475_p0.jpg?v=1763745108","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781538025475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
