'Jane Steele'
Lyndsay Faye
This imaginative book recasts Jane Eyre as a gutsy serial killer who takes a governess position at Highgate House, her former home. While there, she falls in love with the house's master, Mr. Thornfield. But as she learns more about his darkness, she has to decide: can she possess him — all of him — without revealing her own murderous past? You'll never look at the Brontë masterpiece the same after this one. (Lizz Schumer)

While Buzzfeed News includes a different take on Jane Eyre on their list of '19 Books That Will Make Your Life A Little More Magical'.

15. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
"I love books about other books, and this one is full of literary puns, allusions, etc. regarding Jane Eyre. A literary detective is such fun and original!!" —Candace Primack

L'est républicain (France) interviews Layla Claire and John Chest, who play Cathy and Heathcliff in the Bernard Herrmann opera currently on stage in Nancy.

Comment percevez-vous vos personnages respectifs ? JC : J’avoue que jamais je n’avais incarné un personnage rempli d’une telle noirceur. Mais mon boulot, si je veux me glisser dans sa peau, c’est de comprendre ce qui l’a amené à cet état d’esprit. Et d’ailleurs je le comprends, vraiment. Mais bien sûr il est bon de garder une certaine distance…
LC - Nos personnages sont mus par une force instinctive. Dans l’environnement très isolé qui est le leur, ils n’ont guère pu développer leur intelligence émotionnelle. Ils sont très impulsifs, pas du tout dans l’introspection, et peinent à se projeter. [...]
Les Hauts de Hurlevent à l'opéra, c'est une œuvre assez peu connue encore, pourquoi ? LC - En fait c'est, je crois, seulement la première fois qu’elle est portée sur scène en France, la 2e en Europe. Herrmann ne l’a même pas vue avant de mourir. C’est assez triste d’ailleurs, et ça nous donne d’autant plus envie de nous dépasser. (Lysiane Ganousse) (Translation)

The Telegraph and Argus reports that a solar panel on a cottage roof in Changegate, Haworth, has been refused.

Plans to install solar panels on a cottage roof have been refused, with heritage officers saying they would be "harmful" to the appearance of a key conservation area.
The application, submitted by Mr Bartle, would have seen panels installed on the rear of the roof of 24 Changegate in Haworth - the village most famous for being the home of the Brontë Sisters.
The building is one half of a pair of stone cottages, built in the early 19th century and located in the Haworth Conservation Area.
Much of the village is protected, and Haworth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Bradford District. (Chris Young)
