“Powell (The River Within) shines in this stirring tale of English novelist Emily Brontë and her siblings. It opens with six-year-old Emily joining three of her older sisters at a school for girls in 1824... The sisters are fatefully reunited at home after a stint studying abroad, when Charlotte pushes Emily to publish her poems, thus sparking all of their writerly ambitions. With suitably gothic prose, Powell keenly evokes the landscape around Emily’s home as well as her active inner life. Brontë devotees will be delighted.”
