I loved [b:Alice I Have Been|6540352|Alice I Have Been|Melanie Benjamin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1441679893s/6540352.jpg|6732584] & I even enjoyed [b:Cassandra and Jane: A Jane Austen Novel|3092126|Cassandra and Jane A Jane Austen Novel|Jill Pitkeathley|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1267770418s/3092126.jpg|1956319], so naturally I thought i'd enjoy this book as I just finished reading Jane Eyre. Boy was I wrong.
This book starts out slow, and continues to be slow, and just when it picks up (3/4ths of the way in) it ends. I get that the author didn't want to take too much liberty with the history of Charlotte Bronte and her family, and her writing was beautiful, but this book was dull and boring. A book this short should not have taken be 2 1/2weeks to get through.
