Kit and I read passages from Kelly’s favorite romantic novels - each a tale of a mature heroine who marries a man slightly her senior. The readings concluded with the postscript from Charlotte Bronte’s "Jane Eyre" as Jane looks back on 10 years of marriage to Edward Rochester: "I know no weariness of my Edward’s society: he knows none of mine. … We talk, I believe, all day long. To talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All of my confidence is bestowed on him; all his is devoted to me. We are precisely suited in character. Perfect concord is the result." (Cathy Salter)The Independent reviews a recent concert by The Puppini Sisters and mentions their cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights:
The pathos and romance you might expect to find in 1940s-style music is also skimmed, although "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "If It Ain't Got That Swing" admittedly weren't designed for depth. When Puppini scales Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights", all mad eyes and ripe growl, it matches the comedic disrespect most had for it on first hearing. (Nick Hasted)On the blogosphere, the author Margaret Muir and A Bouquet of Willows have re-read Jane Eyre and Esoteric Edam defends Jane Eyre 1997.
