'I promise I’ll try Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Villette again, just not right now, OK?'

According to this interview about bookish things in The Guardian, author Ali Smith doesn't seem to be a Brontëite.

The book I could never read again

Never say never. I promise I’ll try Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Villette again, just not right now, OK?

Mirror alerts readers to the fact that the wonderful To Walk Invisible is now available on BBC iPlayer.

A period drama directed by a praised writer and director has been winning over fans who call it 'beyond incredible', and it's now on the BBC iPlayer.

To Walk Invisible: The Brontë Sisters, which first aired on the BBC in 2016, is a period drama about the intense three-year period when sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë secretly published their groundbreaking novels, using masculine pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The series sees the trio overcome societal barriers, driven by their difficult home life, ailing father, and their brother Branwell's destructive addiction, ultimately leading to their individual literary fame but also personal tragedy as they fight for recognition.

Written and directed by Sally Wainwright, who has created other period dramas including Gentleman Jack, the series stars Finn Atkins as Charlotte, Chloe Pirrie as Emily, Charlie Murphy as Anne and Jonathan Pryce as their father. (Niamh Spence)
