Selected Letters by Margaret Smith, Charlotte Brontë, Janet Gezari

4.0

Charlotte Brontë's letters give more of a domestic point of view into her and her family's life. The collection includes letters to her friends, publishers but also later on to other authors. Highlights of this collection were definitely her letters to her school friend Ellen Nussey. I loved how close their kept through letters and long visits even though the traveling was weary for Brontë. One of the most heartbreaking moments were seeing her siblings die one by one. I can't imagine how lonely Charlotte felt, only having her father alive and Emily, Anne and Branwell dead. I'm very pleased that I got through this collection in small chunks - it almost felt like corresponding with Charlotte, one of my favourite authors of Victorian era.
