|author=Jolien Janzing
|reviewer=Rebecca Foster
|genre=Historical Fiction, General Fiction
|summary=Charlotte and Emily Brontë's time in Belgium – specifically, Charlotte's passion for her teacher, Constantin Heger – is the basis for this historical novel. The authoritative yet inviting narration is a highlight, but some readers may be uncomfortable with the erotic portrayal; it doesn't seem to fit the historical record, which suggests an unrequited love affair.
|rating=3.5
