A favourite of these newsrounds is reviewed again. The California Literary Review talks about The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows:
So we’re immediately entangled here not only with Charles Lamb, but with the lively and often snarky opinions proffered by her Guernsey correspondents on writers as varied as the Bronte sisters, Thomas Carlyle, Wilfred Owen, William Wordsworth, and Jane Austen, among others. (Julia Braun Kessler)
Paul Thompson, webmaster of the excellent web The Reader's Guide to Wuthering Heights, has emailed us announcing a new section of his indispensable faq. Would you like to know how or when did Heathcliff embrace Catherine's body? Check it out here (Hint: He didn't.)

A couple of blogs review Wuthering Heights: Satia's Journal and BloCoLi reviews Les Hauts de Hurlevent (in French). Also in French, On aime les auteurs morts...aussi! reviews The Tenant of Wildfell Hall enthusiastically. Las Prófugas posts about the Brontë sisters in Spanish. Radio Kokomo interviews New York singer Sister who says:
Where did you find your inspiration ?
Inspiration is everywhere. I have been fortunate to live in some beautiful places where the landscape just takes on a life of its own. (...) I guess my songs always end up being about longing for the something or someone missing, always about something missing, an empty pit in your gut ; I did write a few tunes inspired by Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” last year.
Finally Varan's Meanderings posts some pictures of Haworth's graveyard.
