Publisher's Synopsis
The authors of such literary classics as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey, Charlotte, Emily and anne Bronte were extraordinary not only because they were successful female writers in Victorian England, but also because they were sisters. Growing up they were all significantly influenced by each other, as well as by their troubled brother, Branwell. This fascinating account of each sister's unconventional life, astounding talent, and tragic death draws readers into the minds of the gifted authors whose tales have enthralled readers for more than a century.
