'Emily's Ghost' by Denise Giardina is a partly imagined version of Emily Bronte's life, beautifully told and drawing readers into her private life on the moors where she can commune with wildness. It explores a plausible account of the story behind 'Wuthering Heights', shedding light on Emily's inner life and her relationships with her family and the curate, William Weightman. The novel weaves historical facts with fiction, portraying Emily as a complex character with courage, independence, and a loving nature, while also delving into her mysterious persona and her creative genius.
From The Publisher:
"Denise Giardina's extraordinary gift for conjuring voices of the past has never been more bewitchingly deployed than here in Emily's Ghost-a romance so tormentedly devoted to its struggle toward truth that Brontë herself would be proud of it." -Madison Smartt Bell
Enigmatic, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Emily Brontë refuses to bow to the conventions of her day. She is distrustful of marriage, prefers freedom above all else, and walks alone at night on the moors above the isolated rural village of Haworth. But Emily's life is turned upside down by the arrival of an idealistic clergyman named William Weightman. A heart-wrenching love story, Emily's Ghost plumbs the depths of faith, longing, and romantic solitude.
