Synopsis

Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The Brontë siblings find escape from their constrained lives via their rich imaginations. The glittering world of Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy world of Gondal literally come to life under their pens, offering the sort of romance and intrigue missing from their isolated parsonage home. But at what price? As Branwell begins to slip into madness and the sisters feel their real lives slipping away, they must weigh the cost of their powerful imaginations, even as the characters they have created—the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamorna—refuse to let them go.

Gorgeously written and based on the Brontës' juvenilia, Worlds of Ink and Shadow brings to life one of history's most celebrated literary families in a thrilling, suspenseful fantasy.

I loved this book! I'm not someone who is normally drawn to historical fiction so when I was sent the ARC for this tale about the Bronte sisters, I wasn't sure it would be my cup of tea. But I loved it! I was drawn in right away and found it to be an addictive read. I enjoyed reading about their day......more

I have never read anything by the Bronte sisters (yet) but to me this will be the true story about their childhoods <3......more

Goodreads review by Suzannah Rowntree on July 26, 2021

This book came highly recommended, but I didn't know how well it would land for me - after all, the only Bronte novels I've ever read are JANE EYRE (a lot) and WUTHERING HEIGHTS (once), and the only thing I know about the Brontes themselves is that there were a bunch of them who went to a horrible s......more
