In this carefully chosen selection of their letters, diaries and autobiographical fragments, we hear the authentic voices of the three novelists, as well as their brother Branwell and father, the Reverend Patrick Brontë. The collection follows their progress from exuberant childhood to years of hardship, followed by immense literary success and then tragic later years.
