Blame it on the Brontes was the perfect book to take on my recent beach trip. This was a fast and thoroughly enjoyable read. I loved the three sisters and shared their mother's hope that they could overcome their differences and bond together as a family. Charlotte and Anne have been feuding for the past 18 years. The hurt that they caused each other shaped the way that each woman lived her life and affected not only their relationship with each other but with the men they have loved. Emily is the middle sister who has literally been placed in the middle. She dreads family get-togethers since she has long been locked into the role of peace-maker. This volatile situation is brought to a head by the terms of their mother's will. In order to claim their inheritance, the three sisters must move back to the house they grew up in and live together for one year. Charlotte, Emily and Anne each bring their own baggage to this tense living arrangement. But the reader will be rooting for them all the way. Blame it on the Brontes not only left me wanting to take a trip to Puffin Bay, Maine but with a desire to purchase some sea glass jewelry. I hope to do both.
