Syrie James takes us into the unquiet soul of Charlotte
Bronte. Poor, plain and unconnected, Charlotte, her
sisters live in the wilds of Yorkshire. Their eccentric
father allows no curtains on the windows and no rugs on
the floors. Their brother is a drunkard and a drug addict.
But these three sisters write some of the most beloved
books ever created. Many don't know that Charlotte's life
held hidden passions. And while many remember Jan Eyre,
few know about her romance with Arthur Bell Nichols. After
her death, he destroyed so much of the personal writing of
her adulthood, but now, Charlotte's secrets are about to
be told.
