It's not a novel that I would have, under normal circumstances, chosen to read. I can't imagine picking it up from a table loaded down with books, let alone submit it to "read the covers" stage.But I stumbled upon it, and it brought the magnificent Bronte clan to life. It forced me to look up their unfortunate stories: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and the most honest and vulnerable Bronte of them all, the unfortunate Branwell.What's so wondrous about Amy Wolf's fantastic insertion of her character, Maria Shelby, into the Brontes' story, is that Maria is believable not only as a denizen of the time but as a visitor from the future. Maria is believable as a frivolous daughter of privilege but also as an impudent representative of today, inserted majestically into the 1840s. Well, until under the tutelage of the Brontes, she is transformed.And that makes it all relatable to readers of today.I expected to labor through it. After all, my novels are nothing like this. I write about modern rogues, charming over their imperfections with redeeming adventures.Amy brings this sense of adventure to icons of literature.Instead of laboring through it, I found myself endlessly amused. This was a romp. It wasn't just fun for me. It would be fun for others like me, and that, I modestly suggest, is quite the achievement.-- Monte Dutton
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Remembering Wuthering Heights By Cherokee Randolph This is the first piece of ‘biographical fiction’, I can recall having read. For a literary biography, it seemed to work quite well. Biographies of literary figures seem to be full of scholarly footnotes, fawning adoration of ‘genius’ and not much else.There are not very many writers whose lives I really care to read that much about anyway, only perhaps those few who have written books that truly changed my life, lived in my imagination and left me with something that altered my views of myself and humanity in general. Emily Bronte was one of those writers.Wuthering Heights jolted me, excited me and will always be a part of me. It is the only ‘love story’ that ever did that. It is practically the only love story I ever was able to finish reading. It made me believe in a relationship I couldn’t really ‘understand’, but which I could very much understand the yearning for. It is the possibility of two human beings thinking enough in the same kind of way and recognizing that they do, that they don’t have to pretend, censor, compromise, lie or forgive each other. They are safe together, because they ‘really’ know each other. What the rest of the world thinks of them or their relationship doesn’t matter. This, to me, is passionate love and I know now it does exist. It may be rather rare, and that seems sad. On the other hand, I wonder if it isn’t only the lonely people who feel the need of this kind of love, those who really can’t (because something about them is ‘different’) feel either free or honest in many group environments.Emily Bronte was apparently a lonely person. Not antisocial, but not a ‘well integrated social being’. She shared that characteristic with the other members of her family. She functioned well enough within her family, but that could not provide all the ‘love’ she needed. She had no way to find that kind of love, but her imagination could tell her that it existed and something about its nature. And she had to write about it, because she could not talk about it.This novel made me think again about Emily Bronte and Wuthering Heights and, to a lesser extent, about the rest of the Brontes. With the exception of the brother, Branwell, they all appear to have been courageous individuals. The reception that their writing (especially Emily’s) received was mixed, but a great deal of it was very negative. The rejection that came from having exposed herself to the world must have been excruciatingly painful. It is her independence and her courage, even more than her ‘genius’ that I admire.I found the character of Maria Shelby, through whose eyes the Bronte family is presented, quite successful. A bored and restless adolescent, unable to find much of interest in the social grooming which had passed for her education, with a saucy attitude, she was both convincing in her own right and a good device for an intimate look at the family. The very ending of the book disappointed me a little. A few of the ‘events’ that took place didn’t jibe with what I thought I had read about the Brontes. That sent me to the internet and Wikipedia. It seems that, in fact, those two events (concerning Branwell and Charlotte) were not only fiction, but were contrary to fact. That bothered me, but it didn’t ruin the book for me. I think that may have something to do with fiction, itself. Fiction (for some reason which apparently in built into the human mind) has to have an ending. Non-fiction can accept death as the ending, but fiction often wants something more encouraging. All in all, it was an interesting book to read, and I thank Kindle Scout for having selected it.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Accuracy be darned... I'm hooked! By R. E. Carr Amy Wolf's The Misses Bronte's Establishment may very well be the most literary piece of fan-fiction ever written. Yes, it pimp slaps historical accuracy in places as much as Quentin Tarantino did in Inglorious Bastards, but in the end it doesn't matter because it's a lively, fun rose-colored glimpse into the lives of one of the most gifted literary family's of the Nineteenth Century. It's a wispy fairy tale for girls who have grown up long after the repression of Industrial Age, an insertion of hope and modern spunk into a time of consumption and tragedy. I will be honest, I normally hate the sugar coating of troubled geniuses, but this is more like a Jordan almond - the thin candy coating draws you in to enjoy the whole bite, to savor Charlotte, Emily and even the lesser known siblings of Anne and Bramwell. It reads quickly and leaves a smile on your face. If you can embrace it for a moment and suspend your disbelief, you will quickly be charmed and swept away in a bubbly love story, not between a man and a woman... but between a reader and their long lost literary idols.
