Emily and Charlotte Brontë are about as opposite as two sisters can be. Charlotte is practical and cautious; Emily is headstrong and imaginative. But they do have one thing in common: a love of writing. This shared passion will lead them to be two of the first published female novelists and authors of several enduring works of classic literature.
But they’re not there yet.
First, they have to figure out if there is a connection between a string of local burglaries, rumors that a neighbor’s death may not have been accidental, and the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger. The girls have a lot of knots to untangle—before someone else gets killed.

- I confess, this is more of a mini-review.
I love Historical fiction, but it's one I always have to
concentrate harder on than any other genre,
but Always Emily was different, though it had the feel and context of an
historian. That could either be the way it was written or perceived, or mainly because
of our MC's are not your traditional brand you'd expect from that century. Emily's more headstrong and unconventional in
what she wants, while Charlottes more diligent and conservative, but they both
have one thing in common.
