Welcome to Litsy!

Powell captures the frustrations, disappointments, and heartbreaks of the Brontë sisters well. Bleak, like Emily‘s moors.

Their poor father outliving his entire family. These types of accounts always make me better appreciate modern medicine, even with its flaws.

Speaking of bleak, is dreary wet March the new December? If so, I‘m not a fan.

The 26th of December is always a good day. Peace, quiet, no expectations, and good leftovers. 😄

On way back from Taylor Swift at Wembley. Tired and aching!! But a fabulous show.

This is a fictional take on the three Brontë sisters‘ upbringing in Haworth, told from Emily‘s perspective. This really does have the bleakness of her novel; the illnesses that plagued the family, their inability to hold down suitable work. At times this was quite hard to read; I didn‘t particularly like Emily, nor Charlotte, yet it left me incredibly moved and by the ending I was almost distraught 👇

I sobbed my heart out finishing this last night. It‘s a fictional story of the Brontë sisters, told from Emily‘s perspective. I knew it was going to be sad but it was so much more than I expected. The writing is so beautiful and their lives were so hard. Thank you for getting this for me Trish. Absolutely loved it! Best book I‘ve read so far this year.
