Half-Life of a Stolen Sister | Rachel Cantor

bailed

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 ☹️ 10mo

LeahBergen Yikes. I‘m usually up for any sort of Brontë related read, too. ? 10mo

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. 10mo

TheAromaofBooks Some books just don't click. Is there actual thread in the cover? 10mo

Half-Life of a Stolen Sister | Rachel Cantor

pan

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.

Worlds of Ink and Shadow: A Novel of the Bront s | Lena Coakley

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