As I listened to the audiobook, I have strong feelings that it would’ve been a much more enjoyable listening experience if each Brontë had a different speaker.
Going into this novel, I assumed that since it is based on the Brontë’s lives, it would take place in the 1800s. Color me surprised when there were microwaves and texting and graphic t-shirts.
I REALLY wanted to enjoy this story - am a fan of classics so of course love at least one work by Charlotte, Emily, and Anne each!
Perhaps Cantor’s work is just a bit too literary for me.
Thank you NetGalley for access to this audiobook recording.
