  • "When Charlotte Bronte died in 1855, she left behind the beginnings of a new novel - 20 pages of a work in progress called "Emma". Clare Boylan has returned to these intriguing fragments, and turned them into a story of mystery, atmosphere and suspense."

  • "Synopsis: When Charlotte Bronte died in 1855, she left behind twenty pages of a novel that signaled her most compelling work since Jane Eyre. One hundred fifty years later, Clare Boylan has finished Bronte's novel, sparking a sensational literary event. With pitch-perfect tone that is utterly true to Bronte's voice, Boylan delivers a brilliant tale about a mysterious young girl, Matilda, who is delivered to a girls' school in provincial England. When everything about the girl's wealthy background turns out to be a fiction, it falls to a local gentleman, Mr. Ellin, and a childless widow, Isabel Chalfont, to begin a quest for her past and her identity that takes them from the drawing rooms of country society to London's seamiest alleys. With all the intelligence and pathos of the novel's originator, Boylan develops Bronte's sketch of a girl without a past into a stunning portrait of Victorian society with a shameful secret at its heart."@en
  • ""The arrival of Conway Fitzgibbon at Fuchsia Lodge with his daughter Matilda is a source of delight to the headmistress, Miss Wilcox. The unsuccessful ladies' school is eager for new pupils, particularly one so finely dressed and boasting a father who is 'quite the gentleman'. But as Christmas approaches, and Miss Wilcox inquires about arrangements for the holidays, she is in for a shock. Conway Fitzgibbon, like the address he left behind, does not exist"--Page 4 of cover."@en
