{"product_id":"harriet-dark-branwell-brontes-lost-novel","title":"Harriet Dark: Branwell Bronte's Lost Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eBranwell Bronte, brother to the Bronte sisters, described to his friends a novel which he had written but which was not discovered among his papers after his death. Barbara Rees has now ingeniously reconstructed this novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe has written a brilliant gothic novel whose literary value is firmly based in Bronte tradition.\u003cbr\u003eHarriet Dark is a foundling who proves casier to accommodate at the great Yorkshire home of Robert Ogily than was the foundling Heathcliffe at Wuthering Heights. Harriet sets herself to avenge the loss of her beloved mother by allying herself to the devil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe thereby contrives the death of Nina Sanctuary, perhaps Branwell's answer to Blanche Ingram.\u003cbr\u003eBarbara Rees is a formidable novelist in her own right. Apart from creating brilliant re-interpretation of the Brontes, she has taken up and illuminated larger themes about the nature of womanhood and good and evil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbara Rees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67580054339834,"sku":"NEH3\/3\/09262026","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/3387\/5450\/files\/IMG_4163_47890f25-eecf-49b7-ae57-5f2c07b09994.jpg?v=1790428201","url":"https:\/\/flippedpages.com\/products\/harriet-dark-branwell-brontes-lost-novel","provider":"Flipped Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
