Secret Adventures of Authors |

Recently, there have been many different novels featuring famous authors as characters, most notably Jane Austen. However, if you are not a die-hard Janeite those stories might not be for you.

Some of today's writers have taken their favourite authors and created wonderful adventures for them. How would these classical authors react, if faced with some of the thrilling tales they wrote?

Being a fan of the Brontë sisters I was pleased to discover The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Brontë. The reader is not only allowed into Charlotte's thoughts on her family, love and politics, but Charlotte actually becomes a spy! Not willingly of course.

In 1848, Charlotte and her sister Anne travel together to London'to prove to their publisher that they are not the same person. This trip actually happened because the sisters had been writing under pseudonyms, which the press believed to be one person. This is where fiction takes over.

Upon arriving in London, Charlotte is a witness to a murder. Having met the murder victim on the train, Charlotte is suddenly dragged into a web of conspiracy and espionage!

This novel grabs your attention right from the start and whether or not you are familiar with the Brontë's famous novels or their history, you will enjoy this wild ride.
