In this biography of the Brontë family, Deborah Lutz illuminates their complex and fascinating lives through the things they wore, stitched, wrote on and inscribed. By unfolding the histories of the meaningful objects in their family home in Haworth, Lutz immerses readers in the sisters' daily lives while taking us through their major biographical events: the death of their mother and two sisters, the imaginary kingdoms of their childhood writing, their time as governesses and their determined efforts to make a mark on the literary world.
