Really readable literary biography

Inspiring!

Anne Bronte has always been the least celebrated of the Brontes. She’s been portrayed as the sickly, timid one, not as talented as Emily or Charlotte and n... READ MORE

So much more than a Brontë biography

I really enjoyed this informative but completely readable biography of Anne Brontë, the most underrated of the Brontë sisters. I’ve never read any of her b... READ MORE

Synopsis

'I was wowed and moved' Tracy Chevalier

Anne Brontë is the forgotten Brontë sister, overshadowed by her older siblings - virtuous, successful Charlotte, free-spirited Emily and dissolute Branwell. Tragic, virginal, sweet, stoic, selfless, Anne. The less talented Brontë, the other Brontë.

Take Courage is Samantha's personal, poignant and surprising journey into the life and work of a woman sidelined by history. A brave, strongly feminist writer well ahead of her time - and her more celebrated siblings - and who has much to teach us today about how to find our way in the world.

A passionate journey into Anne's life

A magical biography that FINALLY does Anne's powerfully honest writing justice!

Like many others, I myself considered Emily my favourite of the Brontë sisters for her incredible novel Wuthering Heights and her singularly moving poetry,... READ MORE
