The Brontë Sisters: The Brief Lives Of Charlotte, Emily, And Anne (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

The gentle and warm rendering of The Bronte Sisters was so very well researched. Loved the in depth view the author gave of their lives and works including the poetry she chose to include from their pens. The list of references was pages and pages long. I need to read more by this sensitive and thorough author.Enjoyed the independent nature of all three sisters but perhaps my favorite is Charlotte. Of course, we know most about her because of her literary success. She exhibited feisty responses to those who felt that women should bear babies and take care of the home rather than write novels! Nevertheless, she found happiness with a man toward the end of her life and she quit writing to our loss. What a talented trio the Bronte sisters were. I thank Catherine Reef for reminding us once again that their creative writings are still available to those of us who choose to read them! I happened to see this book on the Juvenile nonfiction section at work and couldn't help but pick it up to read. I was seriously impressed with the content of this book. Before reading, I had a superficial understanding of the Bronte sisters' lives, but this gave a very intimate look into their lives without being stuffy or hard to follow. This is perfect for middle grade nonfiction readers, or anyone who enjoys reading about their favorite authors.
