The Brontës a life in letters

The story of the Brontes have never been told more compellingly than in their own words. In this carefully chosen selection of their letters, diaries and autobiographical fragments, we hear the authentic voices of the three novelists, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, as well as their brother Branwell and father, the Reverend Patrick Bronte. We follow their progress from exuberant childhood to years of hardship, followed by immense literary success and then the tragic later years. Here Juliet Barker, author of the acclaimed biography The Brontes, has created an intimate portrait of one of our best-loved families.
