Píše sa rok 1845 a zo šiestich súrodencov sa dožili plnoletosti len Charlotte, Emily, Anne a ich brat Branwell. Spoločne s otcom strácajúcim zrak a nezodpovedným opileckým bratom žijú na fare v Haworthe, grófstve Yorkshireu. Najprv píšu básne, ale verejnosť začína dávať prednosť novelám. Všetky tri sestry sa teda púšťajú do písania románov voľne založených na vlastných skúsenostiach, či už sa jedná o príbeh z rozprávania (Búrlivé výšiny), o spomienky na dievčenské školu (Jana Eyrová) alebo o skúsenostiach zaobchádzaní s vychovávateľkami (Agnés Greyová). Aby mali možnosť publikovať, používajú pseudonymy, v ktorých zachovali len svoje iniciály - Ellis (Emily), Acton (Anne) a Currer (Charlotte) Bellovi.
