As searing a love story as Wuthering Heights

In The Week, writer Rupert Holmes describes Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell as follows:

It's also as searing a love story as Wuthering Heights.

And The New York Times features writer Maryse Condé and mentions her Wuthering Heights-inspired novel.

Condé’s books — including her early historical epic, “Segu,” which put her on the literary map, and “Windward Heights,” her homage to “Wuthering Heights” set in Cuba and Guadeloupe at the turn of the 20th century — have always featured a lively and subversive vision, often reimagining the Western literary canon with Caribbean life at the center.

SoloLibri (Italy) reviews the book La via delle sorelle by Gaia Manzini, about female friendship.

Non è forse vero che l’amicizia nella giovinezza è un combaciare di impronte digitali? Gaia Manzini ripensa al romanzo di Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre, quando all’inizio della narrazione la protagonista viene mandata in orfanotrofio dai parenti che non la vogliono, perché la considerano inferiore e portatrice di disequilibrio.

In orfanotrofio Jane ha una sola vera amica, Helen Burns.

Quando nell’orfanotrofio si diffonde la febbre tifoidea, Helen si ammala: commoventi le righe che mettono la parole fine a questo sublime esempio che va ben oltre l’amicizia, direi sorellanza femminile. (Alessandra Stoppini) (Translation)

Dig! ranks David Gilmour's best guitar solos and one of them is:

11: KATE BUSH: WUTHERING HEIGHTS (FROM ‘THE KICK INSIDE’, 1978)

David Gilmour’s guitar solo for Kate Bush’s debut single, Wuthering Heights, is one of those musical moments that will never be forgotten. Melding perfectly with the song’s spellbinding melody, Gilmour’s performance is hauntingly evocative, as he uses his guitar to underscore the song’s emotion and intensity. Sending a chill down listeners’ spines like a bitter wind on the Moors, Gilmour’s solo conjures otherworldly tones that perfectly complement Bush’s lyrics, inspired as they were by Emily Brontë’s gothic romance novel.
