"You're going to love The Brontë Plot." --Debbie Macomber

When Lucy's secret is unearthed, her world begins to crumble. But it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Lucy Alling makes a living selling rare books, often taking suspicious liberties to reach her goals. When her unorthodox methods are discovered, Lucy's secret ruins her relationship with her boss and her boyfriend, James--leaving Lucy in a heap of hurt and trouble. Something has to change; she has to change.

In a sudden turn of events, James's wealthy grandmother, Helen, hires Lucy as a consultant for a London literary and antiques excursion. Lucy reluctantly agrees and soon discovers Helen holds secrets of her own. In fact, Helen understands Lucy's predicament better than anyone else.

As the two travel across England, Lucy benefits from Helen's wisdom as Helen confronts ghosts from her own past. Everything comes to a head at Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters, where Lucy is reminded of the sisters' beloved heroines who, with tenacity and resolution, endured--even in the midst of impossible circumstances.

Now Lucy must face her past in order to move forward. And while it may hold mistakes and regrets, she will prevail--if only she can step into the life that's been waiting for her all along.

I believed I would not enjoy it. Within the first fifty pages

Reviewed in Canada on 17 November 2015

In the beginning of my reader of The Bronte Plot by Katherine Reay, I believed I would not enjoy it. Within the first fifty pages, some of my thoughts included: characters don’t feel real; there seems to be a lot of information missing; and the setting has not been set up well enough to hold the significance the author tries to achieve.

During the first fifty pages, the dialogue and the things certain characters do felt strange. After only seeing Lucy three times, James asks about Lucy’s father who she clearly in uncomfortable discussing. Examples such of this feel highly unrealistic and break any sort of immersion. On top of cases such as this, the first fifty pages feel over edited. Information seems to be missing and makes it hard to fully understand what is going on.

Books. England through the eyes of an avid reader. Ragged relationships and forgiveness. Truth and consequences. Joys and complications of families. Love and choices. A great plot and enjoyable characters.

Good characters but poor plot and pacing

Reviewed in the United States on 18 November 2015

This book is hard to review. There were parts that I really enjoyed, but other parts where I was really confused about what was happening. The pacing did not work for me at all. It felt like this book should have been a sequel, but instead Katherine Reay rushed the beginning to get to the story she really wanted to be telling.

It starts off with Lucy, who works in an antique/decorating shop in Chicago. She manages the book selling business within the shop and assists the owner/designer with house decorating jobs. James comes into her shop several times to buy books, and they start up a relationship. I really wanted more time with their courtship. It could have been a whole book. I enjoyed their shared bookishness. It was a glimpse of what it would be like to be with someone who shared that love. But the way it was written was very confusing. They'd mention things as if they'd already been discussed, but the reader had no knowledge of them. I honestly don't know how long their relationship was supposed to have gone on until James finds out about something dishonest that Lucy has done.

Then it all falls apart, except that Lucy is invited on a trip to England by James' grandmother. This story is the one I really enjoyed. When Reay wasn't discussing decorating or literary references, which were over my head since I haven't read the Bronte sisters' books (except Jane Erye), she told the story of an older woman full of regret who was trying to right the wrongs of her past. Helen also wanted honesty at the end of her life, and her conversations with Lucy were so real and enjoyable. But unfortunately, there wasn't enough of that story line.

James and Lucy's relationship, which I honestly didn't care very much about, kept muddling up the story. Had this been a sequel, I would have been invested in their story. But the rushed romance at the beginning of the book didn't do enough to make me want these two characters to end up together. The small bit of romance between the chauffeur and the inn keeper would have been enough for me.

Overall this is a sweet and quiet novel with good characters but poor plot and pacing. I loved Reay's other Austen-inspired novels, so I was disappointed that this one didn't work for me. Maybe fans of the Brontes would like it more?

Mixed Read for me

Reviewed in the United States on 25 September 2020

The central character is Lucy Alling, who works in an antique, interior design shop owned by Sid McKenna. Sid allows Lucy to operate a special area devoted to rare books. She is not just an employee, but is being mentored by Sid. Sid reminds her that the reputation of the shop rests on the integrity they bring to the work as highly regarded specialists.
That reputation comes to a crashing halt when Lucy’s actions come to light in regards to “signed books,” her methods used to buying and selling items at and under Sid’s name for the shop. Sid’s reputation is on the line because of her actions. Reay lets us know that Lucy comes from three generations of con-artists, grifters. When her house of cards starts falling, her relationship with her mentor and employer suffers devastation. Her blossoming relationship with James, her boyfriend, blows up. What will she do? In walks the wealthy grandmother of her boyfriend, James. Helen who knows and understands Lucy’s crippling proclivity for “making up stories” instead of “plain talking.” Helen, who is seriously ill, wants to enjoy one more trip across England, visiting historical and literary places of significance; she asks Lucy to come with her to help facilitate the trip. This appeals to Lucy’s love of literature and the literary. Things come to a climax, she ends up back with Sid and to quote from The Music Man, she is “the sadder but wiser girl.”
I enjoy history, British literature, reading, antiques, and this book hit all those buttons. Reay is a good writer and I rated this work of fiction a 4.8. But the fact that this book is sold as Christian fiction, by a Christian publisher, for me as a work of Christian fiction I could not rate it higher than 3.8. Why? Lucy does not exemplify Philippians 4:8 “…whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy, think on these things.” She is not a praiseworthy character. Even when she is brought low and is convicted, and starts a new redemptive path, it is based on her endeavors to cleaning up her life. God, the Bible, faith affecting practice are nowhere seen. So, I enjoyed the book, but it fails as a work of Christian fiction for me. Composite rate 4.
