The Brontë Girls
|
'Papa doesn't like us mixing with the outside world. He says the twentieth century is a monstrous place.'
When Chris trespasses on the isolated Craster farm, Emily Craster is fascinated by him. She is almost fifteen and has known no other life except that with her two sisters and parents on the farm - modeled on the Brontës' parsonage at Haworth. Emily is determined to get to know Chris - but her actions will smash her family's world apart... By the author of The Drowners, which was commended for the Carneige Medal and described by Leon Garfield as 'a fine exciting story, beautifully told.' |
