Jagran recommends classic "love and romance" books:
Jane Eyre
One of the best selling books, Jane Eyre which was penned by Charlotte Brontë in 1847 has both the elements of goth and romance, making it a perfect book to read for people who are into gothic novels, but also like an element of romance in it. This story deals with the main female character Jane Eyre as she deals with the challenges and curve balls her life keeps throwing at her. (Ashmeet Guliani)
Lincolnshire World mentions that the Chapterhouse House Theatre Company will be performing its Jane Eyre production in Gainsborough next October: 
Before then, Chapterhouse Theatre Company will be at the venue on October 10 to perform Jane Eyre. Young governess Jane Eyre arrives at the mysterious Thornfield Hall deep in the Yorkshire moors and meets enigmatic Mr Rochester. So begins this most unforgettable of love stories, adapted from Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel. (Steven Eyley)
Eoin McCarney,  Head of published collections at the National Library of Ireland chooses three desert island books for The Irish Examiner:
When I was in college, I studied Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I love it and every time I read it, I find something new.
Her Campus reviews A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara:
Although A Little Life claims to focus on a group of friends, it centers around Jude St. Francis and his life story. While the reader is captured by the group dynamics on the first instance, they stay for Jude. So, what might be so controversial about telling the life story of your character? Isn’t that what a book is meant to do?
Well, you’d be correct; other books follow this same structure. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë’s Victorian novel, focuses entirely on Jane’s life story, from childhood into adulthood, we follow her through ups and downs. Then, if this is not the controversial element, then what is it? (Alexandra Torres Rodriguez)
Libreriamo (Italy) chooses books about "dangerous relationships":
Cime Tempestose
 Il classico gotico di Emily Brontë, “Cime tempestose”, pubblicato nel 1847, è una delle storie d’amore più travagliate e tossiche della letteratura inglese. La tormentata relazione tra Heathcliff e Catherine Earnshaw è caratterizzata da passione, vendetta e distruzione. La loro ossessione reciproca non solo li distrugge, ma porta con sé una scia di sofferenza che colpisce tutti coloro che li circondano.
Film ispirato: “Cime tempestose” ha ispirato numerosi adattamenti cinematografici e televisivi, tra cui la versione del 1939 con Laurence Olivier e Merle Oberon, che rimane uno degli adattamenti più iconici. Ogni versione cerca di catturare la potenza distruttiva del rapporto tra Heathcliff e Catherine, una relazione che si spinge oltre i confini della ragione. (Maria Luara Chiarotti) (Translation)
