Becoming Jane Eyre

The year is 1846. In a cold parsonage on the gloomy Yorkshire moors, a family seems cursed with disaster. A mother and two children dead. A father sick, without fortune, and hardened by the loss of his two most beloved family members. A son destroyed by alcohol and opiates. And three strong, intelligent young women, reduced to poverty and spinsterhood. BECOMING JANE EYRE delicately unravels the connections between one of fiction's most indelible heroines and the remarkable woman who created her, Sheila Kohler's writes a beautifully imagined tale of the Bronte sisters and their writing of Jane Eyre.
