The Brontes Go Gothic in 'Emily's Ghost'

"Dark, lithe, mercurial . . . and obstinately shy," Emily Bronte famously preferred the company of dogs to people. While the roiling passion of "Wuthering Heights" would seem to have sprung from her singular imagination, this new biographical novel conjures the heartbreak of love lost as the creative backdrop for the most gifted of the Bronte sisters. Denise Giardina, herself a gifted novelist from the hills of Appalachia, takes us striding the Yorkshire moors with Emily and her dog, Keeper, ...
