Features: What exactly is talent? Where does it come from? Usually, people believe talent is a gift from God, only given to the lucky ones. In fact, we're not even sure if those people are truly lucky. Talent doesn't seem to bring happiness to people; instead, 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 world; away from home, they cannot find happiness. But at home, as a family, their talent grows. Who taught them to write? Themselves! And almost no one writes better than they do. This book isn't written by them, but it's about their story. It's a story that their father never wrote but should have: a story about their family, though he only had a short time with them. The author of this book, Tim Vicary, has been teaching English for many years and now lives and works in Yorkshire.
