This book has been on my very long "to-read" list since 2011. After making a resolution to myself that I would tackle books that have been long simmering on that epic list, this was the luck of the draw.And I am so glad it was. Having been a fan of the Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, and only somewhat aware of the true lives of this distinguished but seemingly doomed family, I was ready. The story follows Charlotte and her family from childhood(done retrospectively) into early adulthood and to their deaths. It chronicles their escape from their dreary lives on the moors of Yorkshire by penning stories and poems that will be considered some of the greatest of English literature. Considered socially stunted and doomed to spinsterhood,Charlotte wrote truthfully of women's emotions and struggle in dealing with love and the men in her life.Wile she seemed to accept her lot in life, she railed against it in her novels. She was a proper lady of her day with a heart that yearned for passionate love.Written under a pen name, the public was titillated and soon it became quite the subject of speculation as to who was the true author.And through it all Charlotte and her sisters went about their lives. And when love came to call, it found Charlotte reluctant. The woman with all that passion in her prose, could not believe that she would be capable of passion in real life. I was taken by the style of writing as much as the substance.The line between fact and fiction was almost seamless.This blend is hard to pull off. But it was done brilliantly here. I'm so glad I dusted off that "to-read" shelf.This was a treasure.

Enough people have provided a synopsis of this book, so I think I'll refrain from that point. In spite of my four-star rating, I do agree with many of the comments from detractors. I typically don't read popular fiction, but the book was given to me as a gift and looked interesting enough. I have to say it's much better than the last couple popular fiction books I deigned to read (e.g, Dan Brown, Mystic River, The Lovely Bones), which were all so watered down and written at such a simplistic level. Can I get a polysyllabic word please? I'd like to read a book and see a word every now and then that I don't know the meaning of (thank you, Joseph Heller). Yes, this book was a bit cliche. The fact that Sallander falls for whom she does in the book made absolutely no sense to me - where did that even come from? And who is Blomkvist, the Brad Pitt of Swedish journalists? Every woman he came into contact with was ready to hop into bed with him. And while I won't put any spoilers in here, I do agree that the red herrings were lame (I knew that's what they were when they were mentioned), and it was very clear to me what the "reason" behind Harriet's disappearance was, despite the fact that I didn't see all of the ending coming. So I've ranted, yet I still rated this novel four stars. Why? Well, it was almost 500 pages, and I read it in a very short time. It kept me engaged, had a pretty good plot despite some obvious lame spots, and developed the characters enough to the point where I'd already purchased the next two in the series about halfway through the novel. But I'm not jumping right into the next novel yet, despite the lack of total resolution at the end of the book. I hope the pace picks up in The Girl Who Played With Fire.
