The
Scarborough Evening News reports that
A PAINTING of Scarborough’s South Bay bay by Victorian artist Atkinson Grimshaw [pictured - source] is up for auction at Sotheby’s in London on Thursday. [...]
“On the skyline, directly below the moon, is the shadowy form of the 14th century chapel of St Mary’s, the parish church for Scarborough where Anne Brontë was buried in 1849.”
Grimshaw was lucky, as in his day part of the churchyard wasn't
a carpark or his picture would have been ruined.

Your Presence is Requested at Suvanto by Maile Chapman (Graywolf Press) [...]
Maile Chapman’s debut novel Your Presence is Requested at Suvanto is a an atmospheric mood piece, a sort of Finnish Wuthering Heights that wisps and haunts into your presence, that settles and creeps, that creates an intractable sense of unease and anxiety. A novel such as this is indeed a risk, but Chapman’s tale of Julia, an ex-dancer now residing in a Finnish convalescent home during a tuberculosis outbreak, unfolds in crystalline and panoramic detail — just like the landscape where it’s set.

A book, however, that Jez from Channel 4's sitcom
Peep Show won't be reading, however good, at least according to
Den of Geek:
The week came to a close as Jez hosted a book club to further woo Zahra and Mark stepped in to save his mate, showing Ben up in the process. Jez can't read, you see, and Wuthering Height's (sic) 300-plus pages was a deception too far. Fantastic, then, that Mark should step into the breach and showcase more of that mutual respect between the pair. (Mark Oakley)
