Villette by Charlotte BrontëThis book is the journey of an English woman, Lucy Snowe, who flees her tragic past in England to settle down in a French boarding school. Full of the delicacy of emotion and tragic sensitivity that characterises women, this one is Brontë’s masterpiece and her last work, overshadowing even Jane Eyre. (Sakshi Nadkarni)
‘The Wife Upstairs,’ by Rachel HawkinsThere’s a gated community for ultra elites, a young broke girl with a haunted past and a handsome widower who may be battling ghosts of his own. Fans of Jane Eyre — and fence-sitters too — should give this modern, winking ode to the 1847 classic a chance. Sharp, stormy and rife with new-age Gothic romance, The Wife Upstairs is not quite a retelling, though it shows off customary parallels with Charlotte Brontë’s story. Luckily, the plot comes bearing delicious twists and turns that keep you from getting too comfortable. Enter if you fancy the uncanny feeling of losing your way in a maze made to resemble your favorite place. You’ll come away with a quick fix, and maybe even some reimagined power dynamics! (Kate Bartlett, Sohini Das Gupta and Isabelle Lee)
Maria Branwell(1783-1821)Born and raised in Penzance, Maria met Patrick Brontë while visiting her aunt and uncle in Yorkshire, later becoming the mother of British authors Emily, Anne and Charlotte Brontë and their poet/painter brother Branwell. (Lee Trewhela)
