"Well-written. Kohler gives us a more multidimensional, passionate and temperamental Charlotte than most biographies... connecting the writer with her heroine is intriguing. This novel will likely send fans back to the originals and should inspire those who know 'of' the novels to finally read them."--Publishers Weekly
"Sheila Kohler moves with assured ease between fiction and biography, between the inner life of Charlotte Brontė as she composes Jane Eyre and the comedy of professional rivalry among the three Brontė sisters."--J.M. Coetzee, author of Disgrace and Summertime
"Bravo! I couldn't put it down and finished it in the depths of the night." --Lyndall Gordon, author of Charlotte Brontė A Passionate Life
"Becoming Jane Eyre is lush and filled with dark sensuality and the tension of unsaid things. The style is quite different from Charlotte Brontė's in Jane Eyre, yet the tone and imagery and spirit remain in the same realm. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books and Sheila Kohler one of my favorite writers."--Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

The year is 1846. In a cold parsonage on the gloomy Yorkshire moors, a family seems cursed with disaster. A mother and two children dead. A father sick, without fortune, and hardened by the loss of his two most beloved family members. A son destroyed by alcohol and opiates. And three strong, intelligent young women, reduced to poverty and spinsterhood, with nothing to save them from their fate. Nothing, that is, except their remarkable literary talent. So unfolds the story of the Bronte sisters. At its center are Charlotte and the writing of Jane Eyre. Delicately unraveling the connections between one of fiction's most indelible heroines and the remarkable woman who created her, Sheila Kohler's Becoming Jane Eyre will appeal to fans of historical fiction and, of course, the millions of readers who adore Jane Eyre, as well as biographies about the Brontes like Claire Harmans Charlotte Bronte: A Fiery Heart.
