This is my favourite Charlotte Bronte.

I've added a picture, TOC and reformatted so as to include proper emdashes; also the italics now extend to adjacent punctuation because this looks so much better on the Sony Reader.

Plot Summary:
As a result of adverse circumstances, the heroine, Lucy Snowe - poor, plain and stubborn - becomes an English teacher in a girls' school in Villette (a fictionalised Brussels). She falls for a handsome doctor but realises that there will never be more than friendship between them. After a nervous breakdown, she grows close to the literature professor, M. Paul Emanuel. But, will there be a happy ending? And what is the mysterious ghostly nun, who wanders round the school at night...?

Do you have Book Cleaner set to handle emdashes? I've found that depending on what language you set for your default, you get different oddities on import. Book Cleaner can handle that on import to BD. What I will do is post my two Book Cleaner files with directions what to do with them.

Yes, please, Jon. The two files would be very useful.

Any chance for PRC and IMP versions? I noticed they are missing.
