The Washington Post reviews the latest film by Wes Anderson, Moonrise Kingdom:
The movie evokes what might happen if Huckleberry Finn and a very young Jane Eyre were recast as Romeo and Juliet, who cut out for the territory with only immaturity and passion for each other to guide them. Or better, they’re a preteen Adam and Eve who get a brief second chance to get it right.  (Suzanne Fields)
The Australian writer Kathy Lette lists her top five reads of all time for ABC Radio:
3. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
The New Zealand Listener reviews the novel From Under the Overcoat by Sue Orr:
I once had a brilliant idea for a book of short stories. I would rewrite well-known tales to give them what I regarded as more acceptable endings. Edgar Linton would get the servants to throw Heathcliff out with maximum force. He would then tell Catherine to put up and shut up. (Nicholas Reid)
Kafeteria (Poland) reviews the novel Miłość na wrzosowisku by Anna Łajkowska:
Każda, nawet najbardziej racjonalna miłość, ma w sobie dziki pierwiastek. Świetnie pokazała to Emily Brontë, autorka słynnej powieści Wichrowe wzgórza, której akcja dzieje się na romantycznych, dzikich łąkach Wielkiej Brytanii. (Dominik Sołowiej) (Translation)
Gazeta Kielce (Poland) presents Wuthering Heights 2011 and Metro (France) recommends Jane Eyre:
En attendant une nouvelle adaptation au cinéma avec Mia Wasikowska et Michael Fassbaender, on se replonge dans les amours tourmentées d'une jeune gouvernante et de son ombrageux patron. Une histoire d'amour, de révolte et de folie qui donne le plus beau roman anglais du XIXe siècle. (Translation)
Lions Palermo dei Vespri (in Italian) posts about the Brontës;  bibliophiliac reviews The Flight of Gemma Hardy and Kelly Wiggains posts about its antecessor, Jane Eyre.
