An odd Brontë news story comes from Russia (Komsomolskaya Pravda, for instance). As an experiment, a bookstore in Yekaterinburg has launched a line of air fresheners whose cans display a chapter from several novels. The Brontë reference comes via Wuthering Heights, whose corresponding air freshener is called "горный воздух"('mountain air'). Apparently, the whole thing has been quite a success with people grabbing the cans from toilets in bars, restaurants, offices, etc.

We do think that this would be one of the most difficult, weird things Emily Brontë would have to come to terms with. By the way, the Wuthering Heights can is the light blue one.
