The Brontë Sisters

"The Brontë sisters were the most extraordinary of literary siblings. In the nineteenth century, when women were discouraged from writing and publishing books, all three produced one of more novels now considered masterpieces. In The Brontë Sisters, the award-winning author Catherine Reef explores the turbulent lives of Charlotte, Emily, Anne and offers insight into their passionate and timeless work. 

The sisters spent their childhood creating endless imaginative stories with their brother, Branwell, and running free on the wild moors of Yorkshire, England. Their mother died when they were tiny girls, and two older sisters soon followed her to the grave. Heartbreak and hardship continued to plague the  Brontës, but the sisters leaned on one another. They turned their misfortune into novels and poems that remain as potent today as when they were written." -Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
