Unexpected Turns of Phrases: No Coward Soul is... a casual Portuguese bistro

DNA India asks author David Ebershoff about his favourite books:

One, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I like books that have a story within a story... where turning to the next chapter you enter another story, like walking through a door and not knowing what's on the other side. I also find Brontë's language very poetic. She evokes a harsh landscape, violent weather and storminess to portray the very same emotions in the protagonist. (Ornella D'Souza)

The Press Herald reviews the bistro bar No Coward Soul in Bath, Maine:

Named for a soaring, inspirational Emily Brontë poem, No Coward Soul is a casual Portuguese bistro that opened this May in Bath.

A pity that on the bar's website the picture that goes with Emily's poem is a picture of Charlotte.

The Daily Mail reviews the new BBC1 drama, Mrs Wilson:

Needless to say, Ruth Wilson, who was the best Jane Eyre ever, is terrific. (Deborah Ross)

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books reviews Michael Stewart's Ill Will:

Ill Will is NOT a romance. It does not have a happy ending. It features graphic violence against animals, women, and children. In the latter cases, the violence includes rape. The ending is depressing as hell.
BUT.
I would recommend this book to the tiny cohort of people who share my conviction that Wuthering Heights is a gothic (and highly political) horror novel as opposed to a love story. (Carrie S)

The Independent (Ireland) reviews yet another new TV series, Death and Nightingales.

The bleak house from which she plans her bid from freedom is a star, too, summoning up thoughts of Jane Eyre in its cold and dark interiors, though the flashbacks in the first episode were distracting, clumsily interrupting the storyline before it had a chance to get going. But that's a small quibble about a series that has begun arrestingly. (John Boland)

The Charleston Gazette-Mail lists the books that won the Great American Read:

“Jane Eyre” is a classic gothic novel by Charlotte Brontë written under the pen name “Currer Bell.” Bronte wrote her novel of the orphaned governess Jane Eyre under a man’s name in order for her work to be taken seriously. Jane overcomes cruelty and obstacles and stays true to herself in the novel. This resilient attitude remains fresh with readers today as she leads them on the moors. (Elizabeth Fraser)

Diario Córdoba (Spain) briefly reports the local performance of the Teatre Lliure's production of Jane Eyre. The Cosy Nook posts about Wuthering Heights. Write On Ejaleigh! posts several Brontë-related possible Christmas gifts.
