LEADING writers will visit Haworth for the launch of a new book to tie in with Charlotte Brontë’s bicentenary year.
Reader, I Married Him was commissioned by the Brontë Society as part of celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Charlotte’s birth.
The book features stories from some of the finest and most creative voices in international contemporary women’s fiction.
The collection is edited by Tracy Chevalier – who is working closely with the Brontë Parsonage Museum on bicentenary events – and published by Borough Press.
The 21 stories in Reader, I Married Him, one of the most celebrated lines in fiction, are inspired by Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre and shaped by its perennially fascinating themes of love, compromise and self-determination.
Tracy Chevalier and fellow contributors Helen Dunmore and Salley Vickers will visit Haworth to read from the anthology.
There will also be an opportunity to view the 2016 exhibition Charlotte Great and Small, and celebrate the book launch with an author signing and exclusive reception at the Museum.
