This is a nicely organized biography on Charlotte Bronte. The author goes into deep discussion of the culture at the time. I read this for a class and had some trouble finishing the book due to my own dislike of Bronte. I never liked the Bronte sisters' books. The biography is enjoyable even if not a fan of Charlotte Bronte. I can admit it was well written and well organized.
