Written with wit and relish, and packed with irresistible detail * The Times *
Literary history is seldom related with such a pleasant combination of brio and erudition * Sunday Times *
Crisply written and witty - Lucasta Miller sends the reader straight back to the wonderful novels that inspired such hommages * Independent on Sunday *
A sharp-witted study in literary reputation - Miller supplies a deft and immaculately detailed tracing of the many 'constructions' of Charlotte Bronte * Observer *
