Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
2024 LOCUS AWARD FINALIST, BEST FANTASY NOVEL

Hawarth, 1846.

In a parsonage at the edge of the moors, a widowed rector lives with his family: three daughters and their dissolute brother, Bramwell.

Though the future will celebrate Charlotte, Emily and Anne, right now they are unknown, their genius concealed. In just a few short years they will all be dead, and it will be middle sister Emily's chance encounter with a grievously wounded man on the moor that sets them on the path to their doom.

For there is an ancient pagan secret haunting the moors, a dark inheritance in the family bloodline and something terrible buried under an ogham-inscribed slab in the church. Not only are their lives at stake, but their very souls.

My Brother's Keeper is an atmospheric gothic novel that mixes diabolical hatred and vengeance with the supreme power of love to conjure dark magic from the tragic fate of the Brontë sisters.

Recenzii

Combines the Brontës, a mysterious cult and werewolves... run, don't walk, to your bookstore for this decadent Gothic bonbon.
A joltingly good read...Powers brilliantly weaves through the hallowed family history a tale of ancient Irish curses, consumptive ghosts, fairylands and a werewolf cult that is blighting the North Country...gruesome, gripping stuff
A masterly, compelling, and moving tale that places Tim Powers among the greatest fantasy writers of his or any generation. Countless novels have involved the Brontë family, but none would so surely please and enchant them as this one. My Brother's Keeper is a pure delight.
My Brother's Keeper is an eerie period piece perfectly well-suited to darkening October nights.
The Brontës - especially Emily and her dissolute brother Branwell - come to life on the page, historical details effectively turned to the service of fantasy, making for an exciting and highly entertaining tale
The world of the Brontes and the supernatural feel like natural bedfellows the way that Powers writes them. has the feel of a good Sherlock Holmes tale
Powers has form for this sort of historical revisionism. It's clever, as is Powers' original pagan twin-god lore, and the ghostly imagery he superimposes over the Yorkshire moors is properly shiver-inducing
A tense novel that delivers all of the things you'd expect from a gothic horror... an excellent modern take on a centuries-old genre
Has all the gonzo action and excitement as well as the keen eye to historical detail that we've come to expect from Powers at his best, and is a smart and engaging love letter to these pioneers of the gothic form
A must read. Dark, gothic, chilling and atmospheric
