The Search After Happiness is a 1829 novel by Charlotte Brontë. Written when the author was just thirteen years old, it is a disturbing tale of mysterious men and enslaving creatures that poses many questions but answers few. An uncanny insight into the mind of a young literary genius, “The Search After Happiness” is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author. Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, and the oldest sister in the world-famous trio of literary sisters.
