Ahead of their time

The Belfast Telegraph asks journalist Lesley Bootiman bookish questions.

My favour­ite clas­sic reads

I was soon drawn to the Brontë sis­ters. It wasn’t just the books, of course, it was also their story. How could you not feel pity at their situ­ation but also envy that they were able to share their writ­ing with their sib­lings? I have a battered antho­logy of Jane Eyre,

Wuther­ing Heights and The Ten­ant of Wild­fell Hall right by my desk. Char­lotte’s Jane Eyre will always call to me.

The writ­ing is decept­ively simple but the story fas­cin­at­ing, if chilling, and the heroine, as in so many of their books, ahead of her time.

If you're interested in a diva imbroglio of Sky Ferreria accusing Charli XCX using old songs of hers for her Wuthering Heights album, then this is your news story. Movie Locations shares the filming locations used for Wuthering Heights 1970.
