The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte: Book summary and reviews of The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte by Laura Joh Rowland
The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte SummaryUpon learning that she has been falsely accused of plagiarism, the normally mild-mannered Charlotte Brontë sets off for London to clear her name. But when she unintentionally witnesses a murder, Charlotte finds herself embroiled in a dangerous chain of events that forces her to confront demons from her past. With the clandestine aid of the other Brontë sisters, Emily and Anne, and of the suspiciously well-informed but irresistibly attractive brother of the victim, Charlotte works to unravel a deadly web of intrigue that threatens not only her own safety but that of her family and her country. As the adventure leads her from the peaceful Yorkshire moors to the crime-infested streets of London to the opium-clouded ports of Canton in China, Rowland's Charlotte lures readers into a fast-paced and vividly imagined romp through Victorian history. The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte Reviews"Rowland tells a thrilling story, but the details are too far-fetched to be believed. Recommended only where demand warrants." - Library Journal.
