It is only when the ruthless Emma appears on the scene that the depths of crime and hatred become apparent, and only Mrs. Ellin, she embarks on a journey of discovery and intrigue to unravel the secrets the child is hiding. Chalfont is a lonely widow who adopts an abandoned child and tries to penetrate the mystery of the child’s true identity. There is a gothic moodiness, plot twists, wild scenery, and of course, complex and compelling characters. The themes and plot have many elements that I would expect to find in a Bronte story. The writing doesn’t exactly mimic Charlotte Bronte’s writing style, but it does a fair job. I am usually skeptical about modern authors trying to finish work from a classic author, but this was well done.
She only finished the first two chapters of this book, and it has been finished by “another lady”. This book is a continuation of Charlotte Bronte’s last writing before she died.
