Emily's Ghost

'Denise Giardina's extraordinary gift for conjuring voices of the past has never been more bewitchingly deployed than here in Emily's Ghost-a romance so tormentedly devoted to its struggle toward truth that Bronte herself would be proud of it.' -Madison Smartt BellEnigmatic, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Emily Bronte refuses to bow to the conventions of her day. She is distrustful of marriage, prefers freedom above all else, and walks alone at night on the moors above the isolated rural village of Haworth. But Emily's life is turned upside down by the arrival of an idealistic clergyman named William Weightman. A heart-wrenching love story, Emily's Ghost plumbs the depths of faith, longing, and romantic solitude.
