Set in the beauty of the Yorkshire moors, this book talks about Charlotte, Emily, Bronte and Anne. They have a gift of writing- "Jane Eyre", "Wuthering Heights", "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall". But they do not live to grow old or to enjoy their fame. Only their father is left, alone with his memories.
On a September day in 1821, in the church of a Yorkshire village, a man and six children stood around a grave. They were burying a woman: the man's wife, the children's mother. The children were all very young, and within a few years the two oldest were dead, too. Close to the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors, the father brought up his young family. Who had heard of the Brontes of Haworth then? Branwell died while he was still a young man, but the three sisters who were left had an extraordinary gift. They could write marvellous stories - Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall ...But Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte did not live to grow old or to enjoy their fame. Only their father was left, alone with his memories.
