![]() ![]() My father was a clergyman of the north of England deservedly respected by all who knew him. Which in fact sheds light on not only Anne’s personal life but also her professional life. The beauty of this biography is that each chapter begins with a quotation from Anne’s two novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. ![]() ![]() It’s even more fitting being that this year is the 200th anniversary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth. This happens to be the first biography I have read on any of the Brontës. She most definitely deserves more acknowledgement! So when I happened to come across a post about her on The History Press twitter page detailing a new release of theirs: In Search of Anne Brontë by Nick Holland I knew straight away that this was a book I needed to read and The History Press team were kind enough to send me a copy to review on here. The reason I went for a novel by Anne instead of one by her more well known sisters is because Anne felt like a mystery, she was not talked about like her sisters and since reading Agnes Grey in my eyes Anne is clearly underrated. However, when I decided that I wanted to read my first Brontë novel I decided to go for one of the novels written by the third Brontë sister – Anne. When it comes to the Brontë sisters and their books most people tend to choose to read either Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë or Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë first or in many cases these two books tend to be required reading for school or university. ![]()
