AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: EMILY BRONTE

The library's Book Club just finished reading Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights.  If you were are part of the discussion, or have read Wuthering Heights before, then you may be interested in reading something similar.



Wuthering Heights is the only novel by Emily Bronte.  It was first published under the name Ellis Bell.  Emily's sisters Anne and Charlotte were also published at this time, and they used the pen names Acton and Currer Bell.  After the deaths of both Anne and Emily, Charlotte had the books republished under the author's real names.
