As I run through the various scenes in my mind, there are so many that I will probably never forget. The story of Charlotte Bronte and her sisters whom she loved so much has touched my heart. I usually do not like true stories and I bought this book several months ago and had put off listening to it - what a mistake that was. The fact that it was a true story about an amazing person and her family. However, Bianca Amato does an amazing job in bringing the characters the life. The story is so wonderful and so well written that I would think that the print version would be an excellent option. It is Charlotte's story, just as she might have written it herself.Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte to be better than the print version?
