Review: The Man in the Stone Cottage

The Man in the Stone Cottage by Stephanie Cowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very moving fictional story about the Bronte sisters and their family. These sisters who were writers that gave us such literary masterpieces had such a harsh and sad life. Yet through all their hardships, burdens and grief they had a strong sisterly bond.
The author's writing was so captivating! I felt as though I was on those moors, as Emily took her walks. I could see the cottage that the man lived in and experienced her emotions as she did. I cried with the sisters at their losses and felt their grief as if it was my own.
This was not just a fictional story, but I felt that it was a journey into the lives of Emily and Charlotte. A beautiful experience that left a lasting memory.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.
