This book is a unique read all about the Bronte sisters. I have been really interested in them since I was young (my Mom watched a lot of the film adaptations of their work) and became even more intrigued when I read Jane Eyre for an English class in University. The family is packed full of
This story takes liberties. The author of this story obviously wasn't there with them, so you would have to take some liberties for this historical fiction graphic novel. I do think that Manuela did a good job and made the story very enticing. It was an interesting peak into a take of their personal lives.
I did think the art style was a little weird. The illustrations just didn't sit right with me. Overall though, the book was a nice, laid back read about some famous writers.
Two out of five stars.
