These summaries are so helpful. I have marked my book where to stop and come look for the wealth your posts provide. This is certainly not a dull book, but the neglect of some of the children does make me sad. The characters feel so real I have to remind myself this is fiction. Or is it fiction? Are aspects of characters personalities and actions taken from the author's brother with a drinking problem? Onward!

Thank you so much, Chris...it is nice to know the summaries are helpful!!

The characters are each so unique, aren't they? I'm glad you're sticking with it...it can be a tedious task and I will warn you--the second half is certainly no less violent. I don't doubt Emily Brontë's experiences with her volatile brother helped her craft many of the more distressing scenes!
