5. The Bronte Project, by Jennifer Vandever

About a graduate student doing a thesis on Charlotte Bronte (my favourite of the Brontes), so I thought it might be similar to Charlotte's style of writing . But it's more of a modern 'chick lit' kind of novel, with a girl struggling to maintain her ideals while everyone around her seems to have none.. so maybe it is a bit like Charlotte Bronte. I enjoyed it.. especially the conflict between the main character and her flamboyant friend/enemy Claire.
