Features: What exactly is talent? Where does it come from? Usually, people believe that talent is a gift from God, only given to the lucky ones. In fact, we're not even sure if those people can truly be considered lucky. Talent doesn't seem to bring happiness to people; on the contrary, it pushes them away from the crowd, because talent is something that cannot be shared. However, the case of the Bront? family shows that talent is bestowed upon a family. Because of talent, the members of this family are removed from the mortal world; away from home, they cannot find happiness. But within the family, as a unit, their talent flourishes. Who taught them to write? Themselves! And almost no one wrote better than they did. This book is not written by them, but about their story. It is the story of their family that their father did not write but should have: a story about their family, though he only had a short time with them.
