Express looks into broadcaster Kate Garraway's favourite books.
Kate, who has published three books herself, including The Joy of Big Knickers (2017), The Power Of Hope (2021) and The Strength of Love (2023), also said she enjoyed Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
The former, which is being adapted for the silver screen by Saltburn director Emerald Fennell, was listed as a book the mother-of-two “loved” when she was a child. (Ella Scott)
A contributor to
Verily discusses literary mothers (not much on the subject in the Brontës'
oeuvre).
Many of the novels I read growing up, from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, end with a wedding. While I still admire those novels’ young protagonists, I’ve also outgrown them, literally. Their stories end as they become wives, but real life continues, and motherhood comes with its own set of challenges, joys, and adventures. So, I encourage you to revisit your favorite stories and pay special attention to the mothers who raise their heroes and heroines: you might just find that they’re much more interesting and complex characters than you first thought them to be.
