This historical fiction novel takes us into the world of the Brontë sisters. The sisters faces love and loss on their path to becoming famous writers.

I really enjoyed this. The writing was beautiful and it felt like a very realistic imagining of the Brontë sisters lives. I thought that Charlotte and Emily had beautiful well fleshed out storylines. I did wish we got to know a bit more about Anne though. I also had a bit of a hard time getting into the story at the beginning but once it picked up I had a hard time putting it down. A must read if you are a fan of the Brontë sisters writing!

Thank you to NetGalley and Regal House Publishing for the advanced copy.

The Man in the Stone Cottage is a brilliant imagining of the lives of the Bronte sisters. Concerning Emily, shy and wild wanderer of the moors, the book asks: did she have a secret lover who she met in her wanderings? I enjoyed the speculative portion of the story. Surely Emily met someone on the moors, if only in her dreaming mind. Charlotte's well of creativity was firmly grounded in the earth of poverty and romantic heartbreak and the struggles to keep her family fed. Anne's success as a writer wasn't as great as that of her sisters; I wish she was more developed in the book although it's true we know little about her. This book was a thoroughly enjoyable read! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
