Romancing Miss Bronte
I have examined numerous books via the Bronte sisters and at least one biography, so I was anticipating reading Romancing Miss Bronte with the aid of Juliet Gael. From the first sentence of the primary chapter, I knew I might no longer be upset. Ms. Gael knows the way to use words to their greatest effect, a way to develop her characters and a way to move along the story of the Bronte sisters, their circle of relatives and buddies. Even even though I knew in advance many essential factors of the Bronte tale, I in no way lost interest in this most current ebook primarily based upon their lives. In reality, there were some surprises in keep for the reader and the anticipation of extra to come back stored me studying at a fast tempo as I could not wait to get to the following web page. This book will appeal to maximum who've curled up for plenty hours with one or more of the Bronte sisters' book as well as to those to whom they may be new authors. You might be happy which you introduced this one on your library
I admit, that till I selected this e-book to check, I knew nothing approximately the Bronte’s and I’m almost ashamed to confess that I’ve never even read one in every of their books. But Ms Gael’s style of writing, the way she brought their gloomy lives into crystal readability for me, has made this a completely fascinating problem and one that I will simply examine greater approximately. I wholeheartedly recommend this e-book to not most effective people who are students of the Bronte’s, or who love the conventional memories that they wrote, but also to folks that can also discover romance in tragedy, to those who need to learn what it become want to be a clever, ingenious girl throughout that time period. I commenced this book with dread because I am now not normally inquisitive about the heavier thing of literature-but I am so satisfied that I chose this book. I turned into capable of examine outdoor my norm, end up a bit greater knowledgeable or even loved myself. This book simply hits such a lot of high notes that it’s been days due to the fact I’ve finished “Romancing Miss Bronte” and I’m still thinking about this book.

Quietly good book
I liked this quiet well written book. But whether I had liked this book or not, I could not NOT have read it. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are in the top few of my list of treasured books! The “Miss Bronte” of this title is Charlotte. The “Romancing” of the title is ironic, for though Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre--that great romance of all time--her passionate, romantic spirit suffered from the failure of romance in her most of her real life, according to this fictionalized story based on known facts. In her life, she was wooed by two extraordinary men, but only for their own selfish purposes, for the sheer egotism of one, and for material gain and fame gained by association with her of the other. She fell for the first with all her heart and soul and had high hopes of the second, but neither “gentlemen” had any intention of consummating a love affair with her. She was left broken-hearted and suffered the greater heartbreak of losing her beloved sisters and brother who died young one by one. As she grew older, she was wholeheartedly and passionately romanced by a very ordinary man who left her heart unmoved. Did she die of a broken heart at the end? Did she remain unloved? Were her passions doomed never to be consummated? This author poses some interesting answers taking very plausible small liberties with known facts.

Somewhat Disappointing, but Still Enjoyable
About 250 fifty pages into this 400-page book, I asked myself, "Who is romancing Miss Bronte?" At this point, Arthur Bell Nicholls had JUST admitted to himself his attraction to Charlotte but had not spoken of his feelings, so I could only conclude that it was the author, Juliet Gael, who was "romancing" her in a different way, by trying to turn her into a romanticized heroine admirable not for her beauty but for other, more endearing qualities. The real romance is Charlotte's life: her endurance in spite of personal and professional rejections, her devotion to a demanding family, the sacrificing of her own needs and desires to fulfill those of others. and her dedication to her own work. The book, then, is not quite what the title suggests--which is probably a good thing in my case, since I am not a reader of conventional romance novels. Although the writing does get bogged down in unnecessary details at times, overall, Gael creates a lively portrait of one of the great women writers of the 18th century. The inclusion of a number of the literati of the day (Lewes, Thackeray, etc.) and their reception of both Bronte and her successful novel Jane Eyre make for interesting reading. The complex relationships among the Bronte sisters is also carefully and believably drawn.

A Good Bedfellow
A delightful read. Nothing you have to figure out.
Nothing to keep you awake half the night. It reminds me of a Jan Karon novel in that is just one of those novels that are well written and one you can read at bedtime.

Fact or Fiction It Is A Treat
How sad for a family to loose its members one by one at such early ages. I found myself urging Charlotte to find true love and quit chasing after impossible men. Charlotte found her dream in publishing and the literary life of London, but too soon, she returned to the Haworth parsonage to a drab life under her fathers thumb.
When Arthur finally declared his love I wanted to give Charlotte a shove and tell her take the chance and have a good life.
Lovers of the Bronte Sister's books will find this book about them a wonderful time spent in reading it.
