The Bronte Plot Summary

The Bronte Plot by Katherine Reay

When a bookseller's secret is unearthed, her world begins to crumble. But it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Lucy Alling makes a living selling rare books, often taking suspicious liberties to reach her goals. When her unorthodox methods are discovered, Lucy's secret ruins her relationship with her boss and her boyfriend, James-leaving Lucy in a heap of hurt and trouble. Something has to change; she has to change.

In a sudden turn of events, James's wealthy grandmother, Helen, hires Lucy as a consultant for a London literary and antiques excursion. Lucy reluctantly agrees and soon discovers Helen holds secrets of her own. In fact, Helen understands Lucy's predicament better than anyone else.

As the two travel across England, Lucy benefits from Helen's wisdom as Helen confronts ghosts from her own past. Everything comes to a head at Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters, where Lucy is reminded of the sisters' beloved heroines who, with tenacity and resolution, endured-even in the midst of impossible circumstances.

Now Lucy must face her past in order to move forward. And while it may hold mistakes and regrets, she will prevail-if only she can step into the life and the love that have been waiting for her all along.

The Bronte Plot Reviews

Great works of literature and other priceless antiques populate Reay's thoughtful tribute to the Bronte sisters. The moral ambiguity makes the story more modern than its premise would suggest---and proves how well its source material holds up over time. * Kirkus Reviews *
'Quotations and allusions flow freely in Reay's third tribute to the female giants of English literature . . . the finely drawn characters, flawed and authentic, dominate and ground the story emotionally. Lucy realizes that her beloved Bronte characters know more about God and grace than she ever suspected. Fans may find themselves unearthing their classic novels after savoring this skillfully written homage. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
4 stars. 'Reay's latest is an enjoyable trip to Europe, although at times it reads more like a travel narrative than a novel. Readers less familiar with the Bronte sisters' books might have a difficult time, yet the redemption of the characters is heartfelt and the plot is unpredictable.' * RT Book Reviews *
Reay interweaves classic book characters and references, colorful descriptions, and tantalizing depictions of British literary/artsy tourist spots with a captivating, romantic storyline. Recommend to lovers of excellent storytelling. * CBA Retailers and Resources *
