“ROMANCING MISS BRONTE by Juliet Gael
A brilliantly atmospheric novel that brings to vivid life both the dizzying
triumphs and terrible sorrows of the Brontë sisters, and how love
dramatically and most unexpectedly found Charlotte Brontë.
In a brilliant mélange of fact and fiction, Juliet Gael tells the extraordinary and
poignant story of Charlotte Brontë and her remarkable family, her celebrated
sisters, and brilliantly debauched brother. Romancing Miss Brontë vividly brings to
life Charlotte Brontë’s passions and hopes, dreams and sorrows. The Brontë
sisters had both great successes and brilliant failures as writers, but they are also
known for the tragedies that befell their family’s household. Even after attaining
wide literary acclaim and celebrity, Charlotte remains lonely, keenly longing for
companionship. Glamorous forays into London and meeting premier society
members fail to fill the void. Life at Haworth is lonely, with only her aging father
and his brash curate, Arthur Bell Nichols, for company. But then, most
unexpectedly, after secretly pining for her through the years, Arthur begins wooing
a reluctant Charlotte, coaxing her to envision a life–and love!–with him.
