Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë face a bleak future, with their father half-blind and troubled brother Branwell in decline. As their situation worsens, Charlotte sees that writing could offer a way out. This is the story of the sisters' great novels and their extraordinary battle for recognition.
I was a bit apprehensive that this programme would be good or not and when it started with the silly scene of flaming heads
ReplyDeleteI thought no it would not be, but it improved considerably I was especially pleased with the authentic looking Victorian
scenery showing the dirt an all I have often wondered how the Brontes faired in the way of cleanliness, given that they only had a Well and no modern toilet facilities ? I think this programme needed to be watched by people who already knew the
story as it was a bit difficult to follow in places, but overall a very good production.
