#NewYearNewYou Day 22: Fats‘ review: “The language used was simple, with a slightly bigger font, but the story of the Brontë family is darker and more complicated than that. While I‘ve only read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, it was definitely fascinating to see how a writer‘s life heavily influenced his/her writing.” #SoulSisters Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dfb
I‘ve been fascinated by the Bronte sisters, after reading some of their novels. This book is a very readable biography of the sisters, told in clear prose and included some archived pictures. It captures pretty well the life and times of the Bronte family. However I find it not detailed enough to be deemed as a biography. I‘m not in favour of the author including a summary of each novel written by the sisters in here. It acts as a spoiler. 👇
Ha! Interesting oddity of literary history.

I needed a giggle today, and this provided!
**found on Facebook ages ago, so I don't know who the artist is**
So sad, I can't imagine losing my own three younger siblings like this 💔💔
(NB It's not every day you learn that the man who treated Anne Brontë in her last illness may have been a relative!)
Charlotte Brontë gently turns down the proposal of Henry Nussey and refuses to compromise her principles for the sake of an easy life
I visited Haworth for the first time yesterday (I lived within 12 miles for 25 years and now live 250 miles away!) and it was wonderful. Such a quintessential Northern English town with beautiful views and a great museum. I may have got carried away in the gift shop...
My favourite literary #sisters. I love all their books and find their lives fascinating.

Did anyone watch Walk Invisible last night on PBS? It was so good! I'm inspired to read/reread everything.
