EMILY Bronte and Anne Lister feature in novels being launched at Haworth this month.

Fifteen Wild Decembers explores the connection between Wuthering Heights author Emily's emotions and the desolate moors she loved.

Author Karen Powell will be at Cobbles & Clay, in Main Street, on Wednesday, September 27, at 7pm, to premiere the book.

Tickets for the event are £5, available by calling at neighbouring bookshop Wave of Nostalgia or online at waveofnostalgia.co.uk/event-tickets.

And on Saturday, September 30, from noon, Emma Donoghue will be at Wave of Nostalgia to sign copies of her latest novel, Learned by Heart – the story of Anne Lister, made famous by BBC drama Gentleman Jack, and her first love Eliza Raine. Admission is free and tickets aren't required.

Wave of Nostalgia owner, Diane Park, says: "It’s something very special to have the opportunity within the space of a few days to celebrate two new books featuring such iconic local women.

"Emily Bronte and Anne Lister are two particular heroes of mine and they’re both brilliantly represented in Karen and Emma’s books."
