  Of the famous Bronte siblings, Charlotte, the eldest, was the survivor. At the age of five, she was packed off to boarding school - a place later featured as the sadistic Lockwood institution in her novel Jane Eyre - where the regime was so harsh it killed two of her sisters. In 1845, after a spell as governess and a disastrous love affair in France, Charlotte returned home to Haworth,Yorkshire, to pursue her literary ambitions. This is the story of a rector's daughter who triumphed over unrequited love and family tragedy to take her place as one of the world's most popular writers.
