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 fantastic female writers, but their back story isn't so kind.

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.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lerner Publishing Group and Graphic Universe for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

E' una graphic novel molto carina e veloce da leggere, i disegni sono semplici, ma di carattere e in un certo senso onirici. E' un bel ritratto di Jane Austen, che la fa un po' più moderna rispetto alle critiche che le sono sempre state fatte... che fosse bruttina e frivola e non sufficientemente ricca per sposarsi...
Si legge volentieri e potrebbe essere accattivante per incuriosire un pubblico giovane e appassionarlo alla lettura dei suoi bellissimi romanzi.

Learn more about the lives of these famous literary sisters in Brontë! This graphic novel tells the story of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë's successful pursuit against the odds to get their poems and stories published. It also touches on their self-destructive brother, their family's financial struggles, and the obstacles they faced at home and out in the world as nineteenth century women.

I don't pick up many graphic novels, but I was reading about these famous sisters recently and was inspired to learn more. So when I spotted this book in my Libby app, I had to check it out. The stark, broody drawings are a perfect match for the sister's dark story. I'm not sure I actually learned anything new about them (this is pretty simplified), but it was a quick, pleasurable read anyway ... definitely recommend for fans of the Brontës!… (mer)
