My Brother's Keeper Zusammenfassung

My Brother's Keeper Tim Powers

Howarth, 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 Bronte sisters.

My Brother's Keeper Bewertungen

Combines the Brontes, a mysterious cult and werewolves... run, don't walk, to your bookstore for this decadent Gothic bonbon. -- Silvia Moreno-Garcia
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 Bronte family, but none would so surely please and enchant them as this one. My Brother's Keeper is a pure delight. -- Dean Koontz
My Brother's Keeper is an eerie period piece perfectly well-suited to darkening October nights. * Wall Street Journal *
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 * Daily Mail *
The Brontes - 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 Guardian *
