Karen Powell at the Brontë Lounge

 A ZOOM alert from the Brontë Parsonage Museum:

The Brontë Lounge with Karen Powell

Thursday 21 March, 7:30pm

In this special evening event, we welcome Karen Powell, author of 'Fifteen Wild Decembers', to discuss her novel that creatively reimagines the life of Emily Brontë.

'Isolated from society, the Brontë children spend all their time inventing elaborate fictional realms or roaming the wild moors above their family home in Yorkshire. When the time comes for them to venture out into the world to earn a living, each of them struggles to adapt, but for Emily the change is catastrophic. Torn from the landscape she loves and no longer able to immerse herself in the fantastical world of Gondal that she and her younger sister Anne have created, she is simply unable to function.'

Hosted by Helen Meller, we’ll delve into Karen’s novel, and explore the imagination of Emily Brontë and Karen Powell.
