 The most extraordinary, tragic, passionately creative family of geniuses in Britain’s literary heritage at last meet an author brilliant and brave enough to do them justice.

Praise for THE TASTE OF SORROW:

‘“It’s writing that makes living tolerable”’ This sentence is the nub of Jude Morgan’s absorbing novel about the lives of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte’ Independent

‘Simply terrific’ Joanna Trollope

“It's completely enthralling and brilliant and I cannot put it down….The book is an astonishing achievement” Adele Geras, book blogger

‘Jude Morgan’s is a unique approach to a unique family, but it is also respectful, delicate and subtle’ A reader on Brontëblog

‘I feel a huge burst of Brontemania coming on, honestly, pre-order this book, push little children out of the way to get hold of this one, reserve it at the library now, just don't miss it.’ Dovegreyreader, book blogger

Praise for Jude Morgan’s PASSION:

'PASSION is a wonderful book, rich, authentic, beautifully written and, yes, passionate. It tells familiar stories of famous men and women from fresh angles, breathing life into them rather like Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN did to his monster. I have not been better entertained all year' Tracy Chevalier

'Morgan has pulled off an epic feat both of imagination and of research... He takes us deep into the souls of these extraordinary women, filling us with admiration for their defiance of convention' Marie Claire

'I loved Jude Morgan's PASSION, which seems to me to achieve exactly what historical fiction is for, namely, to illuminate the past to the present...it's compellingly well-written, and stylish with it' Joanna Trollope, Observer
