Eagland, Jane
2 Reviews
(3)
YA
Emily treasures the tight-knit world of Haworth Parsonage--especially her relationship with her sister, Charlotte--and she detests change. Her brief attempts at formal education and friendship are disappointing; writing is her most reliable joy. Eagland hews reasonably close to known facts as she lays the foundation for the fierce, yet insular, imagination that would lead Emily Brontë to create Wuthering Heights.

YA
Ambitious seventeen-year-old Louisa longs to become a doctor. Her dream dims as she finds herself incarcerated in a Victorian insane asylum. With the help of servant Eliza escape becomes a possibility, but the romantic love growing between the two girls presents another danger. Although the mystery of who ordered Louisa's incarceration is well wrought, her modern attitudes and self-confidence sap some tension from the story.
