I am reviewing a copy of The Mother of the Bronte’s through Pen and Sword and Netgalley:

This is the untold story of the mysterious Mrs Bronte.

Marie Branwell was born on April.15. 1783 to Parents Thomas and Anne. Five Branwell babies had already died before their fifth birthday. In November of 1789 Maria’s little sister Charolette was born.

Marie Branwell was a Cornish gentlewomen, and Patrick Bronte a poor Irish Curate, the chance that they would meet let alone fall passionately in love in Regency England was small, but they did.

In 1812 Marie Branwell embarked on a journey, leaving her home, never to return.

Patrick Bronte was born on March.17.1777 born to Hugh and Eleanor (who was known as Alice). His childhood with filled with Irish Myths and Stories.

In 1802 Patrick, the twenty five year old Son of a Father set sail to England, self taught teacher and potential priest Pat Prunty set sail to England.
