Rivalries

 An opinion column on American politics on Summit Daily begins as follows:

I just reread “Jane Eyre” for the third time. It is not a perfect novel. It has some improbable coincidences and (spoiler alert) Jane really should have figured out that Mr. Rochester’s insane wife lived upstairs. In spite of its weaknesses, the brilliance of the prose and touching romance shines through, making it my favorite novel. Yes, I also enjoy chick flicks. (Paul Olson)

We could have done without the sexist last sentence, though.

Reader's Digest lists '13 of the Most Famous Sister Rivalries in History' and apparently you can also include the Brontës if you twist the facts a little.

The Brontë sisters

There were three Brontë sisters, but many know only about Charlotte, author of Jane Eyre and Emily, author of Wuthering Heights. The lesser-known Anne may have been a better storyteller, but something derailed her career, and some believe it was Charlotte. “Charlotte had always underestimated and patronized” Anne according to Penguin Publishing Group, and Charlotte may have taken the idea for Jane Eyre from Anne’s Agnes Grey. Not that Anne was entirely blameless; it’s been said she used her book, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, to critique both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. Clearly, these three understood that there’s no one who can get under your skin quite like a sister. (Lauren Cahn)

A contributor to Edinburgh News tries a local book-themed afternoon tea and justifies her love of reading:

At secondary school, I was one of the few people in my class who actually enjoyed studying the likes of Jane Eyre, Lord of the Flies and The Great Gatsby - so much so, that I went on to study English Literature for four years at university. (Rhoda Morrison)

A list of '10 romance books that defined romance through the ages' on Times Now News includes both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
