And a dear friend and mentor of mine as well. Romancing Miss Bronte: A Novel
Apparently, everyone’s raving about it. I don’t have my copy yet, but I’m waiting until I get it signed before I read it. She’s loved Charlotte Brontë forever, and I’m thinking that will make all the difference in this novel. Not to say that her others weren’t fabulous, but it always helps when you’ve researched the snot out of something and are so passionate about it.
Or rather, it helps some authors. I’m not feeling the passion. Read some of my novel out loud to a friend on a road trip and decided it was crap. Ennui and depression (and, admittedly, some hostility) has set in… We’ll see what happens when I get back.
