成人快手

After the death of her brother and sisters, Charlotte Bront毛 returns to London to face the critics of her second novel Shirley.

One of five momentous visits Charlotte Bront毛 made to the capital in the course of her short-lived but meteoric literary career.

These trips chart the story of her relationship with her young publisher (and his watchful, horrified Mama), Charlotte's wide-eyed enthusiasm at visiting the place of her childhood dreams at long last and being lionized as a writer by readers.

We see her difficult relationships with other authors and critics - and then the gradual disillusionment setting in as this intense, painfully honest and gauche Yorkshire novelist gradually acquires self-knowledge and a clear-eyed view of the cruel and shallow fashionable literary world she had long aspired to be part of.

Written by Charlotte Cory.
