Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Charlotte Brontë: A Life written and read by Claire Harman. Raised motherless on remote Yorkshire moors, watching five beloved siblings sicken and die, haunted by unrequited love: Charlotte Brontë's life has all the drama and tragedy of the great Gothic novels it inspired. Charlotte was a literary visionary, a feminist trailblazer and the driving force behind the whole Brontë family.

Part biography and part cultural history, this celebrated book not only tells the captivating story of Jane Austen's life as a writer, but also her literary legacy. Award-winning biographer Claire Harman traces the growth of Jane Austen's fame and the changing status of her work, a story of personal struggle, family intrigue, accident, advocacy and sometimes surprising neglect.
