"Kathleen Hill brilliantly conveys Maria Branwell Brontë's moral and literary genius, obscured by the circumstances of her early nineteenth-century rural life but surging forth later in the work of her daughters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. I loved every line of this passionate and timeless love story, which speaks as ardently as Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights to every woman now." —Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever"What a beautiful book this is. The lost mother of the Brontës is here a young woman making the great decision of her life—to marry or not to marry—as her understanding of the world deepens. It's a simple tale transformed into a visionary story, an extraordinary novel." —Joan Silber, author of Ideas of Heaven"In this magical and transporting novel, Kathleen Hill explores the perilous weeks that follow Maria Branwell's first meeting with Patrick Brontë. On the edge of Ilkley Moor she struggles to make sense of her mysterious sense of destiny and her attraction to this man with hair like a flame. Although I knew the outcome—her daughters and their astonishing novels—I couldn't stop turning these beautiful pages." —Margot Livesey, author of The Road from Bellhaven
