Book Description
Sisters know each other's biggest dreams and greatest fears. Sisters remain when everyone else has left. Sisters hate each other, cry together, laugh together, and most of all they love. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte were sisters who lived together all of their lives. Most of the time their only companions were each other, and they were close friends. All three sisters wrote and found their strength through expressing their beliefs in their novels. However, even though Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte were close sisters, they had very different worldviews. Each sister had a unique belief about reality, morality, and what is valuable that they expressed through their writing. In spite of the sisters' shared experiences, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were women were worlds apart living in the same world.

Book Description
"This book has as its subject the manipulation of a reputation." "Its starting point is Charlotte Bronte's attempt to manage her own and her sisters' public image in the face of Victorian prejudice against their passionate novels. Their first biographer, Mrs. Gaskell, transformed their story of literary ambition into one of the great legends of the nineteenth century, a dramatic tale of three lonely sisters playing out their tragic destiny on top of a windswept moor. Lucasta Miller reveals where this image came from and how it took such a hold on the popular imagination." "Since 1857, hardly a year has gone by without some sort of Bronte 'biography' appearing."
