Explanation During Books The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë

"I have written about the joys of love. I have, in my secret heart, long dreamt of an intimate connection with a man; every Jane, I believe, deserves her Rochester."

Though poor, plain, and unconnected, Charlotte Bronte possesses a deeply passionate side which she reveals only in her writings—creating Jane Eyre and other novels that stand among literature's most beloved works. Living a secluded life in the wilds of Yorkshire with her sisters Emily and Anne, their drug-addicted brother, and an eccentric father who is going blind, Charlotte Bronte dreams of a real love story as fiery as the ones she creates.

But it is in the pages of her diary where Charlotte exposes her deepest feelings and desires—and the truth about her life, its triumphs and shattering disappointments, her family, the inspiration behind her work, her scandalous secret passion for the man she can never have . . . and her intense, dramatic relationship with the man she comes to love, the enigmatic Arthur Bell Nicholls.

"Who is this man who has dared to ask for my hand? Why is my father so dead set against him? Why are half the residents of Haworth determined to lynch him—or shoot him?"

From Syrie James, the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen, comes a powerfully compelling, intensely researched literary feat that blends historical fact and fiction to explore the passionate heart and unquiet soul of Charlotte Bronte. It is Charlotte's story, just as she might have written it herself.

Column Based On Books The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Anyone who knows me knows I read everything on the Brontes, so I am well versed in their story. I found this book a compelling and engrossing account of their lives. Is every incident true? No. James switches around some incidents and adds some drastic flair, but much of this novel is based on fact. I loved her angle of fleshing out the story of Charlotte and Arthur Bell Nicholls. He was a man I never paid much attention to in Charlotte's life, but James' account

Anyone who has studied Charlotte Bronte, as I have, will be appalled by what Syrie James has done to her here. Thank God this isn't "The Secret Diaries of Emily Bronte," or the ghost of Emily Bronte would likely rise from the grave and do great harm to James. Charlotte was a bit less averse to the idea of being "outed" when it came time to reveal her identity to society, but that doesn't mean she was ready to expose her innermost thoughts. Charlotte Bronte did not leave behind a secret diary, so

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S BIOGRAPHICAL FACTS, THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.I find it unfortunate that certain fictional memoirs choose to call themselves diaries. Just as one cant quite visualize Jane Austens Fitzwilliam Darcy scribbling his growing attraction to Elizabeth Bennet into the pages of a diary like a twelve year-old girl (Mr. Darcy's Diary), neither can one imagine Charlotte Bronte doing the same with her entire lifes story including a few PG-13 rated details

I loved every single page of this book and felt like I was walking beside Charlotte Bronte. I honestly understand now why I didn't care for Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte was a dark and brooding type. I have yet to read Jane Eyre, but after reading this lovely book I know that I will absolutely enjoy my venture into Charlotte Bronte's first novel. I totally understood why she had a crush on a former teacher and how that shaped the way she felt about love. The book portrays her as a kind soul

I absolutely loved this book!! It was so well researched and well done!!! Hilarious. I didnt know half as much about her life as I thought I did and reading this brought her books so much closer to me. I wish religion was written as more important in the book as I know it was during that time.

This is a work of fiction about what Charlotte Bronte's life would have looked like in diary form. It is obvious that James did a lot of research. She based her novel off of hundreds of letters written by Charlotte to her family and friends and a biography written by Elizabeth Gaskell (a friend of Charlotte's). As a die-hard fan of "Jane Eyre," I was very interested in learning more about Charlotte's life. I found this novel to be fascinating. It is written in the language of the times and so

I appreciated this well-written book so much, partly as a way to learn about Charlotte Bronte's life - something I knew very little about before. It does a good job of taking a true story and filling in the blanks to make it feel more like a novel. Unfortunately, the author could do nothing to overcome the tragic course the lives of the Bronte family members took, one after the other. If this were a work of pure fiction, I would find fault with the ending, but that's what happened.
