Description

Charlotte. Emily. Anne. The Bronte sisters - the drama, the passion, and a story that lives for ever...

Once upon a time there were three sisters, bound by love and suffering, growing up in wild isolation in a lonely house on the moor. Their story will astonish you: their passionate, dangerous closeness; their struggle against the world; their determination to rise above the fates of their parents and their other lost sisters, to become more than the world ever thought they could be. You don t know their story, but you think they do. They were the Brontes.

Completely involving, absorbing. Full of insight and very accomplished... I loved reading it - Hilary Mantel

Seemingly effortlessly, Jude Morgan breathes such life and vigour into their stories that you are totally drawn into their world...I cannot commend it enough - Daily Mail

[Morgan holds] nerve and reason where many a Bronte biographer fails...brilliant...moving...superb...A lovely book [which] deserves a wide readership - Guardian
