The story

The story takes place in the early 1800s, when the Brontë sisters Charlotte and Anne have decided to leave their family – their sister Emily, their brother Branwell, their aunt and their vicar father – to take positions as governesses in other families. The two sisters long to break free from their tedious life and get experiences from the outside world, to prepare for their careers as writers. They intend to give part of their governess income to their talented brother Branwell, so he can go to London and study art, to become a great temperamental painter.
