‘Lynne Reid Banks communicates her story with clarity and conviction that establish her among the noblest of factual fiction writers’ - Guardian

‘This books is a must if you are into the Brontë family. Historical fiction (I know not all love this kind of freedom with the lives of famous people), but I really love it. Especially when it is so well written and with a lot of respect to the real persons and their stories as in Lynne Reid Banks version. She makes these remarkable people come alive.’ - Brussels Bronte Blog
