I finished this gem of a biography today. This won’t be for everyone, as it is rather heavy on the descriptions in typical Victorian fashion.

But if you can appreciate that kind of writing and want to learn more about Charlotte Brontë, I can definitely recommend this!

One of the most interesting aspects of the biography is the fact that Elizabeth Gaskell knew Charlotte Brontë, had visited with her several times and corresponded with her in the latter portion of Charlotte’s life. I feel like it’s quite rare for biographers to actually know the person they’re writing about.

I also liked that Gaskell used a lot of Charlotte’s letters in the biography. That really gave quite a good impression of the kind of person Charlotte was.

I’m almost done with this one, and it’s so much fun! I love all the references Terry Pratchett put in here, it’s so good! I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.

I’m already well over 80 pages into this one and it’s honestly great. There’s definitely some differences with how modern biographies are written, such as the amount of detail Gaskell provides us with regarding where Charlotte grew up, what the area was like and what kinds of people lived there. But I feel like that only adds to the charm of the book.

It’s also interesting to read a biography of someone, written by one of their friends. That doesn’t happen too often I think, and it makes for a very different reading experience, because you already know that the author knew this person.

What’s everyone planning on doing this weekend?

I’m on call for work, but I really hope I can finish Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett. Once I’ve finished that, I think my next book is gonna be Ninth House, by Leigh Bardugo. That one’s been on my shelves way too long!

Been reading A Place of Greater Safety, by Hilary Mantel for the past month and it’s honestly one of the best books featuring the French Revolution that I’ve ever read!
