"How did sisters Emily, Charlotte, and Anne write literary landmarks Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Agnes Grey?

As it tells the story of the Brontèes, Half-Life of a Stolen Sister itself perpetually transforms and renews its own style and methods, sometimes hewing close to the facts of the Brontèe lives as we know them (or think we know them), and at others radically reimagining the siblings, moving them into new time periods and possibilities"--
