Pick Yorkshire over Saint Tropez

Hong Kong Tatler recommends a trip to Yorkshire:

Anyone flying to Europe this summer should consider swapping yet another week in Saint Tropez for a holiday in England’s wildest county, Yorkshire. There they will find mouth-watering meals galore and hikes through the dales and glens that were brought to life by the Brontë sisters (Melissa Twigg)

Here's how Broadway World describes Jen Silverman's play The Moors, which Epic Theatre Company will be staging next March.

Book Riot suggests 'Over 500 Unique Literary Baby Names for Bookish Parents-to-Be'.

Literary Baby Names Inspired by Famous Authors
[...] Brontë might be a bit much for a wee baby, but the names of the Brontë siblings might inspire you: Anne, Emily, Charlotte, and Branwell. The sisters’ pen names, Currer, Acton, and Ellis, are all strong-sounding names. [...]
Literary Baby Names by the Brontë sisters
Bless Emily B for giving us the name Heathcliff, which fits the character so perfectly. I might shorten that to Heath if it were my baby. Another unusual choice for a baby of any gender is Shirley. This was originally in common use as a male name, until Charlotte Brontë’s novel Shirley, in which the titular character is a land-owning woman, made it a popular girls’ name. A few more names from Shirley: Caroline, Louis, Robert, Hortense.
Jane and Edward of Jane Eyre have been mentioned above, but there’s always St. John, as long as you’re okay with your child correcting this pronunciation for the rest of their life. (I was 21 years old before I realized it was pronounced “Sinjin”.) Other Brontë names: Agnes, Adele, Annabella, Blanche, Eliza, Eulalie, Fergus, Georgiana, Gilbert, Ginevra, Graham, Lucy, Kenneth, Millicent, Paulina, Sylvie, Zillah. (Kathleen Keenan)

KWBU reviews the novel Commonwealth by Ann Patchett.

The most interesting part of the story involves Franny, who is a bartender.  One day, a man she recognizes comes into the bar.  As Patchett writes, “‘Hello,’ he said.  Leon Posner, sitting two seats away from her.  He was wearing a dark-gray suit and a white shirt with only the top button of his collar undone.  He may well have had a tie folded in his pocket.  Had he reached out his hand and she reached out her hand their fingers very easily could have touched.  As a rule, Franny didn’t pay much attention to the people at the bar” (97).  They begin a mildly funny discussion about shoes and their effect on Franny’s customers.  She knew he was a famous author, and Franny was an avid reader.  The list of books she reads is quite interesting.  For example, Kristen Lavransdatter, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, The World According to Garp, and the Brontë sisters.” (Jim McKeown)
