Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—are celebrated English authors, but their siblings, Maria and Elizabeth, who died young, and their troubled brother Branwell, are less known. The family's home, Haworth Parsonage, loomed over the Yorkshire Moors, where the remaining siblings, after losing Maria and Elizabeth, found solace in literature and their wild imaginations. As poverty compelled the sisters to seek work outside Haworth, they channeled their experiences into extraordinary novels, while Branwell's struggles led to his downfall. In ‘Dark Quartet,’ Lynne Reid Banks beautifully narrates the Brontë family's journey to fame, exploring their challenges and triumphs. The book has been described as "thoroughly gripping" by Cosmopolitan and offers insights into the mysteries surrounding the Brontës, according to the Irish Times. Yorkshire Post praises it for shedding new light on the lives of these remarkable women. Lynne Reid Banks, a best-selling British author, is known for both children's and adult literature, with her works like ‘The L-Shaped Room’ and ‘The Indian in the Cupboard’ adapted into successful films. Her portrayal of the Brontës won the Yorkshire Arts Association Award and was followed by a sequel. Endeavour Press is recognized as the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books.
