Critics Review
‘Holland’s book is beautifully written, a devoted labor of love. It is a fine introductory volume for readers just becoming acquainted with the Brontes, and there is much analysis to interest students and expert scholars.’ – Ellen Moody * The Victorian Web *‘Holland has enormous affection for Anne Brontë, and his excellent book is filled with passion and pathos. Its triumph is that Anne is given voice and is no longer swamped by her siblings.’ – Roger Lewis * The Mail on Sunday *‘Holland’s way of telling about Anne Brontë’s final illness and last days is particularly touching while avoiding the easy slide into parable territory. This new biography proves that Anne Brontë’s afterlife is just like her life: not about quantity but about quality.’ * Brontë Blog Book Review *
