Lynn asked Katherine Reay:

At first I thought The Bronte Plot no more than a Hallmark romance movie with a literary twist. However, the deeper I got into it, the deeper it got. I saw in it the way we deceive, not just for our own advantage, but because we want please others and make their time with us more enjoyable. Instead we cheat them and ourselves out of an authentic life. Don't stories both enlighten and deceive?

Katherine Reay Thank you so much for sticking with the story. Not that there is anything wrong with a wonderful Hallmark movie ;) -- but I am so delighted you found more within Lucy and Helen.

Yes... self-decepton is one reason Lucy's story is told in the third person too. Sometimes we don't even know why we do things, don't question, don't rest with our voice -- maybe we are scared to do that.

Anyway, I am so glad you enjoyed Lucy's and Helen's journey -- after all, self-deception can happen at any age. :)

Thanks for writing to me as well! Have a great day!
