The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë by Syrie James
Though poor, plain, and unconnected, Charlotte Bronte possesses a deeply passionate side which she reveals only in her writings - creating Jane Eyre and other novels that stand among literature's most beloved works. Living a secluded life in the wilds of Yorkshire with her sisters Emily and Anne, their drug-addicted brother, and an eccentric father who is going blind, Charlotte Bronte dreams of a real love story as fiery as the ones she creates.
But it is in the pages of her diary where Charlotte exposes her deepest feelings and desires - and the truth about her life, its triumphs and shattering disappointments, her family, the inspiration behind her work, her scandalous secret passion for the man she can never have . . . and her intense, dramatic relationship with the man she comes to love, the enigmatic Arthur Bell Nicholls.

Runemarks by Joanne Harris
Seven o’clock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again. . . . Not that anyone would admit it was goblins. In Maddy Smith’s world, order rules. Chaos, old gods, fairies, goblins, magic, glamours–all of these were supposedly vanquished centuries ago. But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The “ruinmark” she was born with on her palm proves it–and makes the other villagers fearful that she is a witch (though helpful in dealing with the goblins-in-the-cellar problem). But the mysterious traveler One-Eye sees Maddy’s mark not as a defect, but as a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap of forbidden magic One-Eye can teach her if she is to survive that destiny.

Date: 2011-11-05 06:00 pm (UTC)Sono due libri: il primo è "I sogni perduti delle sorelle Bronte" di Syrie James e diciamo che è una biografia romanzata di Charlotte Bronte; il secondo si intitola "Le parole segrete" di Joanne Harris (Che è una delle mie scrittrici preferite), ed è tipo un fantasy basato sulla cultura norrena! :D

Il primo è "I sogni perduti delle sorelle Bronte" di Syrie James e diciamo che è una biografia romanzata di Charlotte Bronte; il secondo si intitola "Le parole segrete" di Joanne Harris (Che è una delle mie scrittrici preferite), ed è tipo un fantasy basato sulla cultura norrena!
