Brönte

How did it happen? How was it possible? How could three Victorian spinsters have written some of the most powerful and romantic fiction of all time?
Destined to lonesome, isolated lives in the English countryside, three sisters (Emily, Charlotte and Anne) face their brothers decline into alcoholism and insanity. As chaos descends on the household the sisters begin to write, creating works of art that would reach the hearts of millions and span centuries.
