THE STORY OF ONE OF ENGLISH'S MOST IMPORTANT WRITERS IN A PASSIONATE NOVEL. Leading a secluded life in the English countryside with her sisters Emily and Anne, her drug-addicted brother, and an eccentric father on the verge of blindness, Charlotte Brontë dreams of a love story as passionate as those she creates in fiction. Even though she was poor, ordinary, and without influential friends, Charlotte Brontë's impetuous side was revealed in the books she wrote, such as the famous Jane Eyre, but it is in the pages of her diary that she exposes her deepest feelings and desires. She also reveals the truth about her life, her triumphs and disappointments, her family, the inspiration for all her work, her secret and scandalous passion for a man who could never be hers, and her intense and dramatic relationship with the man she learned to love: the enigmatic Bell Nicholls. The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë is the result of extensive research and blends fiction with historical fact as it explores Charlotte Brontë's passionate heart and restless soul. • "True to the author's language and time, this book will leave all admirers of the Brontë sisters spellbound." – Library Journal • By Syrie James, author of the bestselling The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen, published by Record.
