Dark Quartet is a fictionalised biography of the Brontë sisters: beautifully written literary fiction set in nineteenth century Yorkshire revealing the real tragedies of the authors of the best-loved novels Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Isolated in a ramshackle parsonage on the Yorkshire moors, the Brontë children created their own fantasy worlds.
Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Branwell spent their childhoods absorbed in creating miniature manuscripts that preserved the stories of their imaginative dreamworlds.
But though Branwell craved recognition for his literary attempts, he would be pushed aside while the careers of his sisters flourished.
This family’s extraordinary literary talents were overshadowed by extreme personal suffering.
How did three provincial sisters become household names? What personal sacrifices led to professional success?
And what led to the ultimately tragic fate for this Dark Quartet…?
Dark Quartet by Lynne Reid Banks is a thrilling fictionalised biography of the Brontë sisters: beautifully written literary fiction set in nineteenth century Yorkshire revealing the real tragedies of the authors of the best-loved novels Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
