Charlotte Brontes Secret LOVE

In a bid for adventure and freedom, Charlotte Bronte went on a gap year of sorts: she and her sister Emily went abroad ostensibly to study languages. Brussels, and the elegant boarding house of Madame Heger, were a world away from the oppression of their father's Yorkshire house and so was the terrible passion that gripped Charlotte when she fell in love with her teacher, Constatin Heger, the man of the house... Jolien Janzing explores this real life drama in her new novel.The film rights have been sold.
