The American Booksellers Association has selected Laura Joh Rowland's The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Brontë as a March Book Sense Pick!A little more about the book:
Upon learning that she has been falsely accused of breaching her publishing contract, the normally mild-mannered Charlotte Brontë sets off for London to clear her name. But when she unintentionally witnesses a murder, Charlotte finds herself embroiled in a dangerous chain of events. With the aid of her sisters, Emily and Anne, and of the suspiciously well-informed but irresistibly attractive brother of the victim, Charlotte works to unravel a deadly web of intrigue. Charlotte is plunged into a thrilling adventure and a passionate romance that leads her from the peaceful Yorkshire moors to the crime-infested streets of London to the wilds of Scotland and the palaces of Queen Victoria herself. Will Charlotte be able to stop a devious invisible villain whose schemes threaten her life, her family, and the very fabric of the British empire?
Laura Joh Rowland is the author of twelve other books, including the critically acclaimed The Snow Empress and Red Chrysanthemum. She was educated at the University of Michigan and now lives in New Orleans with her husband.
The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Brontë will be available in stores on March 13th. Check out the author's blog for more information about the making the book: www.laurajohrowland.com.
