This columnist of the Beverly Press. Park Labrea News makes a curious statement:
As you know, Los Angeles can have a sinister, Wuthering Heights quality to it. There are dark shadows, kinky corners, loud and lewd people. (Chris Erskine)
Another columnist in The Times tells a funny anecdote:
Continuing my series on unexpected questions after talks, David Sanders says he used to teach psychology at a summer school in York. For his class on schizophrenia, he spoke vividly for an hour about traumatic childhood experiences and dysfunctional families, then asked for questions. A lady at the front, who had been listening intently but may have been in the wrong room, raised her hand and asked: “Is this Wuthering Heights?” (Patrick Kidd)
La Vanguardia (Spain) quotes the British ambassador in Bolivia, Jeff Glekin, in a speech at the Feria del Libro de La Paz:

Mencionó además la "larga historia" y el aporte de la literatura británica desde autores como William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Emily Brontë o Jane Austin, hasta J.R.R. Tolkien o J.K. Rowling, y destacó el "amor y respeto" que los británicos tienen por la lectura y escritura, algo que comparten con Bolivia. (Translation)
Trend Online (Italy) and courageous women in literature:
Nella storia letteraria i libri che raccontano storie di donne non mancano affatto (pensiamo all'avventuroso "Moll Flanders" di Defoe, a "Jane Eyre" di Charlotte Bronte o, tornando molto più indietro, alle lettere di Abelardo ed Eloisa nel medioevo). (Translation)
Donna Glamour (Italy) lists things about the writer and podcaster Chiara Tagliaferri:
Una delle sue scrittrice preferite è Emily Brontë, su cui ha detto a Il Libraio: “Quando sono in difficoltà l’unico oracolo a cui mi affido è Cime tempestose. Lo apro a caso, leggo qualche riga e so come comportarmi”
Ha alcuni tatuaggi sul corpo tra cui la scritta Heathcliff (personaggio di Cime Tempestose) dietro al collo. (Alice Antonucci) (Translation)

The Telegraph & Argus reports the approval of the building of a development of cottages in Oakworth.
