Classic, Romantic Suspense, Coming-of-Age and more

Romantic suspense novels in BookRiot:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
An early example of romantic suspense, and one that’s heavy on the suspense, is Brontë’s literary classic about Jane, an orphaned young woman hired by a wealthy gentleman named Mr. Rochester to care for his young ward. (Erin Mayer)

And the usual classic-books-to-read-before-you-die on Shortlist:

Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre. The Brontë sisters are rightly held up among the greatest writing dynasties. Charlotte Brontë’s debut novel Jane Eyre was ahead of its time in the way it subverted traditional relationships of the mid-19th century.
It is told in the first person, and the novel is held up for its refusal to adhere to female stereotypes of the time. Jane Eyre places a memorable title character within the context of a deep and layered work. (Tom Victor)

And still another list for Jane Eyre. LitHub's greatest coming-of-age novels:

Wretched orphan becomes happily married woman—the original coming of age story. Never mind the insane ex-wife in the attic, or the fairly horrible husband, or the fire. Just never you mind. (Emily Temple)

The Frederick News-Post interviews the author Eliza Knight:

Another is 'Jane Eyre.' This girl of poor and unfair circumstances, not gifted with particular beauty, is thrust into terrible conditions, rises from that obscurity to find  her love, only to have it dashed and then restored again. It's one of my absolute favorites and really explores the internal pain a person can have but also inner strength. (Lauren LaRocca)

Sunday Times (South Africa) reviews Betrayal: The Secret Lives of Apartheid Spies by Jonathan Ancer:

"Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life," Charlotte Brontë wrote in her seminal novel, Jane Eyre.
This dictum can be applied to Joy Harnden, a rather unassuming young woman who was coerced into joining the Special Branch by fellow Rhodes student, the apartheid spy Gordon Brookbanks. Despite not being politically active at the time, working as a double agent for the state gave Harnden a sense of belonging. (Mila de Viliers)

Duna 89.7 (Chile) publishes a podcast about the Charlotte Brontë-M. Heger relationship. La Croix (in French) quotes Tracy Chevalier praising Jane Eyre:

Il m’est toujours apparu comme un miracle qu’elle soit capable de dépasser autant d’obstacles pour trouver à la fois l’indépendance et le bonheur, particulièrement dans une société où les femmes avaient si peu de pouvoir socio-économique. (...)
Quelque part, dans ma vie de lectrice, j’ai absorbé Jane Eyre, qui s’est imprimée en moi. J’espère lui avoir rendu hommage. Le monde de la littérature est une longue rivière qui coule en soi et à l’extérieur de soi, et resurgit parfois de manière mystérieuse. (Translation)

Exibart (Italy) interviews the musician and writer Maria Antonieta:

Yasmin Riyahi: Dopo qualche mese dall’uscita del libro, ci sarebbe qualche altra ragazza imperdonabile che vorresti includere?
«Emily Brontë» (Translation)

El País talks about the sculptress Rachel Feinstein residency in Chatsworth:

Durante casi un año y de forma intermitente, Rachel Feinstein ha respirado el día a día de un castillo que desde 2017 se mantiene gracias al patrocinio de la marca de lujo Gucci, principal impulsora de las residencias. Feinstein explica que, tras pasar un tiempo en Chatsworth, la inspiración definitiva le llegó fuera de los muros, en la extensión de sus jardines. “Recuerdo mi primera visita, todo me resultó más intenso y romántico de lo que esperaba. Llovía mucho y había niebla, todo muy Heathcliff”, dice, en referencia al personaje de Cumbres borrascosas. “Cuando volví unos meses después, a veces acompañada de mi familia, empecé a pasear más por los alrededores. Así fue como descubrí la gruta, la había construido a finales del siglo XVIII la esposa del quinto duque, Georgiana, una mujer sorprendente, que mantuvo una relación paralela con otra mujer. Despertó mucho mi curiosidad”. (Elsa Fernández-Santos) (Translation)
