Synopsis
Brian Wilks, best-selling author of two books, "The Brontës" and "Jane Austen" and vice-president of the Brontë Society, is passionate about Charlotte and his exploration of her personal and published writings reveals a woman of immense passion.
"Charlotte In Love" is the compelling story of that woman and Brian Wilks brings a warmth and sympathy to his thoroughly researched text.
The lives of the Brontës are truly as extraordinary as those of the fictional characters they created and Charlotte, nineteenth century woman novelist, was the heroine of her own romantic story. Tragically, she died, six months pregnant and married for less than a year.
In the years between meeting Arthur Bell Nicholls and her death is the drama of life at Haworth where she, Emily and Anne wrote in secret to become published novelists whilst their father's sight deteriorated and their brother Branwell scandalised the neighbourhood.
Brian Wilks weaves the threads of her years of struggle and short-lived happiness into a tapestry which will delight Brontë enthusiasts and everyone who enjoys a romantic and tragic drama.
