"The Madwoman Upstairs," by Catherine Lowell


Thank you to Touchstone Book and Edelweiss for granting me access to this Advance Review Copy of "The Madwoman Upstairs."

Could I be the only person reading about the Brontë's last (fictional) descendant to have never read a book by any Brontë? I'll never know, but I suspect it is possible.

I devoured this book in a twenty-four hour period.  It had just about everything I love in a book -- intrigue, literary mystery, romance, history and a puzzle. I enjoyed learning about Oxford, the Brontë family and imaging myself in the drafty tower.

The only thing I wish were different is -- and I'll try not to spoil anything -- is when our heroine does or does not find or not find that which she has been seeking.  Kind of anti-climactic!

But I loved it.  Read this book!
