Since her father's untimely death, she is the presumed heir to a long-rumored trove of diaries, paintings, letters, and early novel drafts passed down from the Brontë family-a hidden fortune never revealed to anyone outside the family but endlessly speculated on by Brontë scholars and fanatics. Samantha, however, has never seen this alleged estate, and for all she knows, it's just as fictional as \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet everything changes when Samantha enrolls at Oxford University and long-lost objects from the past begin rematerializing in her life.

Annotated in her father's handwriting, the book is the first of many clues in an elaborate scavenger hunt derived from the world's greatest literature. With the help of a handsome but inscrutable professor, Samantha must plunge into a vast literary mystery and an untold family legacy, one that can only be solved by decoding the clues hidden within the Brontës' own writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers who devoured \u003ci\u003eThe Weird Sisters \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSpecial Topics in Calamity Physics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Madwoman Upstairs\u003c\/i\u003e is a suspenseful, exhilarating debut by an exciting new talent who offers a moving exploration of what it means when the greatest truth is, in fact, fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49301072773424,"sku":"BDbrfn","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49301072806192,"sku":"ZEbrfn","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49301072838960,"sku":"ZMbrfn","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/brfn-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775795273","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-brfn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
