Fifteen Wild Decembers

Lots of excellent research, facts, even feelings. But too "tight", especially at the beginning. I wanted a sense of flow, and the start of the book did not reflect a young girl's struggles or even insights.

Although we all know that the Brontë siblings‘ s story will have no happy ending, the novel is not gloomy at all but powerful and hopeful. Because these short lives lived intensely and in a way without compromise, leaves me with a feeling of content and not so much of sadness (although I shed some tears).

Extreme interesting read a very honest insight into the Brontës
