GREAT NEW MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

What does the spoiled rich daughter of a knight in mid-Victorian England have to do with Emily and Charlotte Brontë in The Misses Brontë’s Establishment? Plenty: and if it's a stretch to imagine that Maria's situation holds connections to these more famous sisters, it's not a stretch to see the parallels between her life experiences and the journeys of Emily, Anne and Charlotte, who are her tutors in this take-off on literary characters.

Readers should ideally have some relatively recent familiarity with at least Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre (and the backgrounds of the Brontë sisters) in order to appreciate this winding story which takes their lives a step further in introducing a feisty new young protagonist who mirrors her mentors' footsteps in romance but adds a dash of detective work and unexpected humor into the mix.

This audience will be better able to appreciate all of the allusions and approaches Amy Wolf utilizes to bring Maria and her Victorian times to life in a world centered on the Brontë sisters and their perspectives and further adventures. From Christmas in 1843 to a wedding, the adventure twists and turns down the alleys and byways of England with exquisite observations of class, romance, and the trappings of Victorian society: "Once I would have been ravenous to devour news of Society, but now, I was not quite sure how to digest this meal. Of course, I longed to attend the events that Isabelle limned with such fever; but a new, contrary flavor rose to sour my palette: some might call it Distaste. Balls, opera, finery: what use were they to me now? I lived amongst a people who spurned such pleasures—who clung almost like Quakers to their plain manner of living."

This is not to say that The Misses Brontë’s Establishment is intended as a bastion of literary achievement riding on the coat strings of the Brontës: its primary audience will be historical romance readers who will relish its setting and the attentions of Maria in deciphering the puzzles of romance in her life and those of her mentors. So, to anticipate that this novel should assume the complexity and proportions of a literary classic is unfair to its true intention: to use the background and characters of the Brontë sisters to spin its own unique, individual romantic yarn that creates a dilemma around a character who finds herself out of familiar territory as she moves from London society to the backwaters of the English countryside.

Readers seeking a vivid love story with more than a bow to the classics and the ability to stand out in a genre filled with one-dimensional historical romance characters, and who seek a light, engrossing leisure read incorporating all these elements rather than a demanding, heady piece of literature, will relish The Misses Brontë’s Establishment for its many strengths and its ability to provide a rollicking romp through Victorian principles and society. -- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer
