The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë by Syrie James

4.0

Fictional, but well-researched, account of the life of Charlotte Bronte. The author used letters and other documents from the life of the three sisters and their friends and acquaintances to imagine their lives as writers, their care for each other and their dissolute brother. Also a love story about Charlotte and the Irish curate who eventually became her husband. I had not even known she ever married, and had not known how soon after the publication of their novels she lost her two sisters.
