Charlotte Bronte dazzled the world with some of literature's most vital, richly-drawn characters. She spent her brief but extraordinary life in search of love - and eventually found it with Arthur Bell Nicholls, her father's curate, a reserved yet passionate Irishman. The pair honeymooned in Ireland, though their joy was quenched nine months later when Charlotte died in March 1855. The aura of mystery surrounding the enigmatic author was only to intensify after her death.Charlotte is the story of two marriages and three lives irrevocably intertwined, told by the woman who went on to wed Bronte's widower. Theirs was a love triangle of devotion and heartache, friendship and deception, passion and obsession.Martina Devlin's enthralling novel re-envisions Charlotte's pivotal time in Ireland, weaving back and forth through the novelist's life and afterlife. It reflects upon the myths built up by those who knew her, those who thought they did, and those who longed to.'I was utterly enthralled by this fictional rendering of Charlotte Bronte's life-and its aftermath-as viewed through the eyes of her husband's second wife. This is a powerful and compelling novel that expertly imagines the lives and times of those closest to Bronte, and captivates the reader with its cleverness and eloquence.' Mary Costello'In Charlotte, the raw gold of Charlotte Bronte's marriage to Arthur Nicholls has been wrought in a wonderful artefact; this is a beautiful novel full of mystery, intrigue and story.' Carlo Gebler
