As for the parts set in their invented worlds, I thought they were a bit childish, not because of the author's writing but because of the stories themselves, as they were written when the Brontës were younger. I'd recommend Worlds of Ink and Shadow for those who like the Brontë sisters and also for those who never read anything by them. Source (  ) _Marcia_94_ | Sep 21, 2021 | ) Linyarai | Feb 16, 2020 |
 2016 TOP PICK SELECTION ***** 5 out of 5 stars Review by: Stacy Palm I did not intend to start the new year off with a TOP PICK SELECTION, but when you pick up a book and do not put it down until it is finished...Well, that's a clear sign that the book is a good one. Worlds of Ink and Shadow: A Novel of the Brontes by Lena Coakley is a truly captivating romp through the mind of a writer. This is labeled a Young Adult Novel, but I would argue that this book is quite appropriate for readers of all ages. This is the fictional tale of the Bronte siblings, and before you ask, no you do not need to be familiar with any of the books written by Anne, Emily, Charlotte, or their brother Branwell. The book also features in context their sisters Maria and Elizabeth who passed away at a very young age, and their father. This is a brilliant story about imagination. The children have discovered a way of entering the worlds they create in their writing, but not all of the children know how to enter. While young Charlotte and Branwell spend their hours building their worlds and acting out scenes with their created characters, Emily and Anne are left at home and only brought along occasionally. As you can imagine this spawns some jealousy and Emily sets out to find her own way in to her imagined world. This story was so delightful in that the lives these children are living both in the real world and in their creations is beautifully etched out in detail for us by the author. What could be a very simple parson's home is actually rather filled with life and discovery; questions of morality and honesty, friendship and sibling rivalry. I was as wrapped up in this story as if I had been transported into the children's world along with them. It was a breath-taking fictional, but emotional journey through the imagined childhood of these literary classical writers. Full reviews available at: http://www.thebookendfamily.weebly.co... Prijzen

The glittering world of Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy world of Gondal literallycome to life under their pens, offering the sort of romance and intrigue missing from their isolated parsonage home. But at what price? As Branwell begins to slip into madness and the sisters feel their real lives slipping away, they must weigh the cost of their powerful imaginations, even as the characters they have createdâ??the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamornaâ??refuse to let them go.Gorgeously written and based on the Brontës' juvenilia, Worlds of Ink and Shadow brings to life one of history's most celebrated literary families in a thrilling, suspenseful f Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
