| Summary |
Drinks, drugs, unhappy love affairs, premature death: their own life stories were more tragic than the stories they wrote. Enter the world of the Brontë sisters, who poured out their frustrations, failures and personal tragedies in their classic works. Recreates the Victorian Era of Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother, Branwell, who retreated from life on the Yorkshire moors into a more complex fantasy world.
