This just isn‘t the book for me. Strange and seemingly pointless, it is supposed to be about the Brontë sisters but is maybe in the present time? Glad it is off my #TBR. #BookspinBingo #JoyousJanuary @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65

Andrew65 Oh no ☹️ 4mo

LeahBergen Yikes. I‘m usually up for any sort of Brontë related read, too. ? 4mo
Julsmarshall Love that @dabbe ! I usually am too, @LeahBergen but this wasn‘t the one for me. You might like it, @mdemanatee , it may just be too out there for me. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Some books just don't click. Is there actual thread in the cover? 4mo

I‘m not really sure what I just listened to… this re-imagining of the Brontë sisters‘ (and brother & father‘s) lives certainly isn‘t what I expected. “Form-shattering” as the blurb states is quite apt. Each chapter shifts perspectives, & even time-periods, giving insight into proposed emails that Charlotte would write. I think I wanted something more based in fact, though I did listen throughout to see if the author pulled it together. She didn‘t.

Eight-year-old Max moves with his family to an old farmhouse in Yorkshire. While exploring the attic he discovers a set of toy soldiers ... toy soldiers that used to belong to the four Bronte children and have now come to life.

(Winner of the 1962 Carnegie Medal and published in the US under the tagged title.)

She often felt that being an author was like being a sheepdog, always snapping at her characters' heels to keep them on track.
