Join two expert writers on a very personal journey around Britain and Ireland, enjoying privileged access to private houses that shaped and inspired the Brontë sisters and their writing.
Echoing Cathy’s ghost in Wuthering Heights, Ann and Sharon ask to be let in – and invite you on an eye-opening odyssey that combines the surprising Brontë history of key houses with their sometimes glorious, sometimes heartbreaking, always fascinating afterlives.
Join Ann and Sharon as they explore historic buildings where the extraordinary Brontë story unfolded. Discover the untold secrets of the world-famous Brontë Parsonage, Bradford’s literary shrine where they wrote their novels, and the nearby birthplace of their early childhoods. Learn of the ghosts and legends of the real Wuthering Heights, the legacy of Ulster and Cornwall in the sisters’ DNA, the restoration of the real Lowood School in Jane Eyre – and follow a Brontë pub crawl around the inns and taverns of Victorian England frequented by wayward brother Branwell.
