When Lucy’s secret is unearthed, her world begins to crumble. But it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her. Lucy Alling makes a living selling rare books, often taking suspicious measures to reach her goals. When her unorthodox methods are discovered, Lucy’s secret ruins her relationship with her boss and her boyfriend James—leaving Lucy in a heap of hurt, and trouble. Something has to change; she has to change. In a sudden turn of events, James’s wealthy grandmother Helen hires Lucy as a consultant for a London literary and antiques excursion. Lucy reluctantly agrees and soon discovers Helen holds secrets of her own. In fact, Helen understands Lucy’s predicament better than anyone else. As the two travel across England, Lucy benefits from Helen’s wisdom, as Helen confronts the ghosts of her own past. Everything comes to a head at Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters, where Lucy is reminded of the sisters’ beloved heroines, who, with tenacity and resolution, endured—even in the midst of change. Now Lucy must go back into her past in order to move forward. And while it may hold mistakes and regrets, she will prevail—if only she can step into the life that’s been waiting for her all along.

#TheBrontePlot 4 Stars! @ThomasNelson @Katherine_Reay I enjoyed this book very much. While I have to say I never did read any of the classic Bronte books that they talk about, I did enjoy the story.

I wasn't keen on the "heroine" Lucy who was a devious piece of work, nor did I like the way it was written. It's as though chunks of it are missing as it jumps from one thing to another. The idea of this story appealed and the literary connections were something to be enjoyed, but I was left feeling...

3.0 The Bronte Plot
It has "Brontë" in the title, books on the cover, and a bookseller in the description. I instantly want to read The Brontë Plot by Katherine Reay.
