"The Brontë sisters, who occupy such an important place in English literature, continue to fascinate us - the passionate intensity of Emily's Wuthering Heights and her poetry, the blend of romance and realism in Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Villette, the domestic drama of Anne's The Tennant of Wildfell Hall.The book's photographs, some of them very rare, illustrate every aspect of the Brontës' lives, family, surroundings and works. Dr Bentley was born and lived until her death in Halifax, eight miles from Haworth, and has drawn on a lifetime's knowledge for this biography.”
"Phyllis Bentley is the ideal narrator because she knows the subject probably better than anyone ...... It is an acheivement that a theme so deeply felt should be so economically stated." The Daily Telegraph Book
