Synopsis"From the obscure country parsonage came the most extraordinary family
of the nineteenth century. The Bronte sisters created a world in which
we still live - the intense, passionate world of Jane Eyre and Wuthering
Heights; and the phenomenon of this great explosion of genius remains
as baffling now as it was to their Victorian contemporaries.
In this panoramic novel we see with unique insight the members of a
uniquely close-knit family whose tight bonds are the instruments of
both triumph and tragedy.
Emily, thee solitary who turns from the world to the greater
temptations of the imagination: Anne, gentle and loyal, under
whose quietude lies the harshest perception of the stifling life
forced upon her. Bramwell, the mercurial and self-destructive
brother, meant to be king, unable to be prince: and the brilliant,
uncompromising, tormented Charlotte, longing for both love and
independence, who establishes the family's name and learns
its price."
