Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of With or Without You
Dazzling in design, Cantor’s showstopping retelling of the lives of the Bronte sisters (and brother Branwell) gleefully shapeshifts the legends we think we know into an ingenious new context we’ve never imagined. Using emails, diaries, movies, radio programs and more, Cantor meshes facts with fictions to illuminate art, sisters, love, and life, and how creativity can arise out of soul-killing sorrows. Heart-wounding and deeply funny, Cantor’s novel’s exuberant risk-taking and bottomless compassion for her genius subjects make this book a work of genius in itself.
