Emily
Sex Education star Emma Mackey is set to star as Emily Brontë in this biopic that has been described as a "transformative, inspiring and exhilarating journey to womanhood" that will "brim with energy intimately capturing the emotional intensity and adrenalin of youth, with all its messy honesty, heartbreak, humour and fearlessness; matched by the scale of our stunning locations".

ArtsHub reviews the book
The Burnished Sun by Mirandi Riwoe.
As Jean Rhys did in Wide Sargasso Sea, offering Antoinette, the Creole heiress who becomes the ‘mad woman in the attic’ in Jane Eyre a chance to tell her version of slavery and entrapment, so Riwoe offers her women a platform and her readers an insight into how structural socio-economic, patriarchal and colonial inequalities strove to pin their lives down and disable their agency.
