MacColl slowly sketches the relationships among Emily, Charlotte, and Branwell Brontë, but her intriguingly gothic tale of secrets and crimes in Haworth, England, creates a cleverly imagined set of possibilities for what might have inspired the creation of Cathy, Heathcliff, Jane Eyre, and Mr. Rochester. The strong blend of research and imagination will appeal to established Brontë fans and inspire new ones.
