'A standout book' Rosie Walsh

From the Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Memory Book, Rowan Coleman, comes a special new series featuring the Bronte sisters, written under the name Bella Ellis

Praise for The Vanished Bride:

'Evocative and utterly enchanting' Sarah Hilary

'A gripping, twisty mystery' Angela Clarke

'A splendid adventure' Guardian

'A treat from start to finish' Jane Casey

'Happily, more Bronte mysteries are to be expected' TLS

“Elegant, witty and compulsively readable - I think the Bront”

e sisters would have been delighted. A standout book

Bronte fans will undoubtedly get the most out of this: possible inspirations for Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall are everywhere. But you don't need insider knowledge to enjoy either the splendid adventure, or the touching and often funny portrayal of the sisters' devotion to and exasperation with one another and their debauched brother. - Guardian

A gorgeous book - perfectly paced and completely charming. As a mystery, it is compelling and satisfying; as a portrait of the Brontes it is insightful, moving and inspiring. It is an absolute treat from start to finish

Brilliantly entertaining and original

Bronte aficionados are sure to enjoy the accurate characterization and context, the twists turns and Gothic touches of the plot, and the strong feminist streak that manifests itself throughout, but most triumphantly at the end. Happily, more Bronte mysteries are to be expected. - TLS

Romps along and is lashed with Gothic colour. Fun and inventive. - Daily Mail

Wonderful . . . A treat for everyone. I loved it so very much

Incredible . . . Bella Ellis is a very special talent: the Brontes are magically brought to life in this gripping, twisty mystery. I need more!

Bella Ellis is the Bronte inspired pen name for the award winning, Sunday Times bestselling author Rowan Coleman. A Bronte devotee for most of her life, Rowan is the author of fourteen novels including The Memory Book, The Summer of Impossible Things and The Girl at the Window.
