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.

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.

good choice for book club selection
The characters and their lives are so real I felt I was there with them and shared their tribulations. Also shared Charlotte's joy getting her books published. Even though they lived a hard life this book was very well written. I would recommend it for book club discussions

Captivating
Romancing Miss Bronte - Juliet Gael

Romancing Miss Bronte is a fascinating factual and fictional look into Charlotte, Anne, Emily and Branwell Bronte’s lives. The bulk of this novel deals with Charlotte; her life her loves and her tragedies. As children in Haworth England, they are remarkably intelligent and imaginative, and I think that this fact is the only thing that could possibly keep them sane with all they have gone through and will keep them sane throughout their young adult lives. Branwell suffers from a love affair gone horribly wrong and turns to alcohol and drugs to get him through his days; Charlotte has lost her heart to a married man while she and her sister Emily were in Brussels - less is spoken of about Anne and Emily in this book and of course the book does focus on Charlotte’s life.

What could have been a depressing read if handled by any other author, wasn’t, for indeed their lives were bleak, and illness and death and hopelessness fills a lot of these pages. .
Insinuating itself among the tragedies, is a relentless hope that one day their words would reach others; their biggest dreams are to be published. And published they become albeit at their own expense. Of course later on we will find that Charlotte’s book “Jane Eyre” will become on of literature’s most enduring romances along with her sister Emily’s “Wuthering Heights”. And over the course of years Charlotte even finds someone who loves her, understands her and will put up with both her writing and her crotchety bigoted father.


I admit, that until I chose this book to review, I knew nothing about the Bronte’s and I’m almost ashamed to admit that I’ve never even read one of their books. But Ms Gael’s style of writing, the way she brought their gloomy lives into crystal clarity for me, has made this a very fascinating subject and one that I will certainly read more about. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to not only those who are scholars of the Bronte’s, or who love the classic tales that they wrote, but also to those who may find romance in tragedy, to those who want to learn what it was like to be a smart, imaginative woman during that time period. I started this book with dread because I am not normally interested in the heavier aspect of literature-but I am so happy that I chose this book. I was able to read outside my norm, become a bit more educated and even enjoyed myself. This book really hits so many high notes that it’s been days since I’ve finished “Romancing Miss Bronte” and I’m still thinking about this book.
