Bronte's Mistress by Finola Austin EPUB
âA beautifully written, highly seductive debut.... The chemistry between Branwell and Lydia positively crackles on the page.... Masterful story-telling which is sure to delight fans of the BrontĂ«s and of historical fiction.â (Hazel Gaynor, New York Times best-selling author of The Lighthouse Keeperâs Daughter)
This dazzling debut novel for fans of Mrs. Poe and Longbourn explores the scandalous historical love affair between Branwell BrontĂ« and Lydia Robinson, giving voice to the woman who allegedly corrupted her sonâs innocent tutor and brought down the entire BrontĂ« family.
Yorkshire, 1843: Lydia Robinson - mistress of Thorp Green Hall - has lost her precious young daughter and her mother within the same year. She returns to her bleak home, grief-stricken and unmoored. With her teenage daughters rebelling, her testy mother-in-law scrutinizing her every move, and her marriage grown cold, Lydia is restless and yearning for something more.
All of that changes with the arrival of her sonâs tutor, Branwell BrontĂ«, brother of her daughtersâ governess, Miss Anne BrontĂ« and those other writerly sisters, Charlotte and Emily. Branwell has his own demons to contend with - including living up to the ideals of his intelligent family - but his presence is a breath of fresh air for Lydia. Handsome, passionate, and uninhibited by social conventions, heâs also 25 to her 43. A love of poetry, music, and theater bring mistress and tutor together, and Branwellâs colorful tales of his sistersâ elaborate play-acting and made-up worlds form the backdrop for seduction.
But Lydiaâs new taste of passion comes with consequences. As Branwellâs inner turmoil rises to the surface, his behavior grows erratic and dangerous, and whispers of their passionate relationship spout from her servantsâ lips, reaching all three protective BrontĂ« sisters. Soon, it falls on Lydia to save not just her reputation, but her way of life, before those clever girls reveal all her secrets in their novels. Unfortunately, she might be too late.
Meticulously researched and deliciously told, BrontĂ«âs Mistress is a captivating reimagining of the scandalous affair that has divided BrontĂ« enthusiasts for generations and an illuminating portrait of a courageous, sharp-witted woman who fights to emerge with her dignity intact.
