Jane Eyre with swords

Big Issue has novelist and journalist Hannah Beckerman pick her top 6 domestic noirs and apparently Jane Eyre is one of them.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Sharing multiple themes with Rebecca, Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel also features an innocent young woman, an eligible suitor and a mansion in which all is most definitely not what it seems. 

SciFi Now reviews Roanne Lau's The Serpent Called Mercy.

Lythlet’s character is another highlight of the novel. Clever, yet plain-looking and forever in a desperate situation, she paints a picture of Jane Eyre with swords. Confident yet riddled with self-doubt, her character develops intelligently throughout the story, starting as a woman fighting for survival to one grappling with the moral costs of ambition.

Newsday reports on a talk by Sarah Jessica Parker and her mother Barbara Forste about their love of books led by author and playwright Adriana Trigiani.

Trigiani asked Parker and Forste a series of questions about formative books they hold dear, such as the first book they remembered reading and owning, comparing Jane Eyre to Wuthering Heights, and whether it’s important for a main character to have a moral compass. (Maureen Mullarkey)

Express describes Haworth as a 'mini Cotswolds'.

A beautiful little village frozen in time that is like stepping back into another era has been dubbed a ‘mini Cotswolds’ despite being 182 miles away. Haworth is nestled within the picturesque Yorkshire countryside, once home to the famous Brontë sisters. The former family home has turned into a museum, making it a popular spot for book lovers.

Many of the village’s surrounding attractions bear their name, including the Brontë Parsonage Museum (where they used to live) and the Brontë Waterfall. Some of the streets are named after the Bronte sisters and their novels, including Charlotte Brontë Way, Jane Eyre Lane, and Anne Brontë Avenue. Visitors can walk through the streets that the family would have spent their time in, learn more about their lives at the Parsonage and see the places the sisters were inspired by.

No visit here would be complete without stopping by the Brontë Parsonage Museum where you can immerse yourself in the sister's life and was home to the Brontë family from 1820 to 1861. It is also the very spot where the sisters wrote some of their most famous novels such as Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. (Lauran O'Toole)
