'I knew there was a world in those pages that could take me somewhere other than where my body was'

The Spinoff asks writer Nina Nola all sorts of bookish questions.

The book I wish I’d written

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, because this is the first grown-up novel I bought for myself, and it changed the world. I was flying to the former Yugoslavia for the first time at age 11 with my family to meet relatives, and I wanted a book that could protect me on the journey. My copy was a short, fat paperback with a picture of a wispy female on a lonely moor on the cover. I knew there was a world in those pages that could take me somewhere other than where my body was. It worked!

“Wuthering Heights” — Kate Bush

Bush's 1978 debut single doesn't just reference Emily Brontë's 1847 novel—it's narrated from the perspective of the ghost Catherine Earnshaw haunting the Yorkshire moors estate that gives the book its name. Bush reportedly wrote the song after watching a 1967 BBC adaptation late one night, immediately sitting down to compose. The fictional Wuthering Heights farmhouse is widely believed to be based on Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse near Haworth in West Yorkshire, where the Brontë sisters lived and wrote. Bush's connection to the material deepened in 2018 when she contributed a rare public work: an inscription for a memorial stone dedicated to Emily Brontë on the Yorkshire moors between Haworth and Thornton, the sisters' birthplace. The inscription reads: “No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere”—a line from Brontë's poem “No Coward Soul Is Mine.” (Julia Cancilla)

'Jane Eyre'

Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre  is one of those books that has been influential in a whole host of ways. Not only has it been adapted to the screen multiple times, but it has also inspired other works that follow its formula. In addition to several silent versions of the story, it has been remade several times during the sound era. Some of the more notable versions are the 1943 version (in which Joan Fontaine co-starred with Orson Welles) and the 2011 version (which co-starred Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender).
