An exciting retelling of the lives of the Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and their brother Branwell dispels the legends that, as we think, we know about this family...
Chapter by chapter, the novel combines diaries, letters, television and radio interviews, deathbed monologues, and fragments of the extensive fictional childhood world of the Brontë sisters and brother.
Rachel Cantor creates a surreal, eccentric story in which modernity is combined with archaism.
'Cantor seems to be writing in two languages at once, and comedy helps prevent seriousness from turning into sentimentality.' - The San Francisco Chronicle
Whether you are a fan of this literary family or not, this novel is a must-read for anyone looking for a truly tender, modern, and humorous look at the creative process, family, and life in general.
