The Boar writes in defence of including trigger warnings in books:
Another grumble popular with the critics is that placing trigger warnings on books will lead to a ‘snowball’ effect. ‘Where does it stop?’ they ask. Should we place a warning on Macbeth for murder? On Lolita for paedophilia? How about Jane Eyre, for the demonisation of mental illness and for child abandonment? Quite simply, yes. Even using warnings for uncommon triggers has the potential to prevent someone from suffering a damaging emotional episode then surely it’s worth the mild inconvenience? (Carmella Lowkis)
SugarScape interviews writer Giovanna Fletcher:
In the book Maddy is told to pick a love story and stick to it by a friend -  what are your favourite love stories of all time? Oooh.... Romeo and Juliet, Titanic... I love Jane Eyre, it is an amazing book. If you can’t read it watch the version with Toby Stephens, it's incredible. I watched it and then developed a little bit of a crush on him after that. (Lizzie Cox)
Panorama (Italy) reviews the Italian translation of Jane, le renard et moi.
C’è un momento in cui Helene si sente bene, ed è quando apre il suo libro preferito: Jane Eyre. Leggere le apre le porte ad un mondo diverso e colorato, che le rende più sopportabile il grigiore che la circonda. Jane Eyre è una buona amica di carta, le sue storie tengono compagnia ad Helene nei momenti più difficili. Un'eroina ottocentesca però, non può nulla contro la temutissima gita di classe. [...]
Per fortuna ogni tanto le aspettative più nere vengono ribaltate da un incontro speciale nel bosco e da un’inaspettata compagnia.
L’adolescenza, il bullismo, la solitudine raccontati con intelligenza, originalità e un tratto grafico affascinante ed ironico. Il racconto di Helene non lascia indifferenti e piacerà a tutti, ragazzi e adulti, perché parla agli occhi e al cuore. (Ilaria Cairoli) (Translation)
