What was the first book to make an impact on you?Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë. I loved it and still do: an orphan/outsider up against the world, a mean family, and yet she gets the man. I love it despite the Creole madwoman …who I don’t like.
Book Marks: First book you remember loving?Mary Morris: Oh definitely Jane Eyre. There were lots of books that I read and that absorbed me before Jane Eyre (like Little Women and all of Nancy Drew), but Jane Eyre was my first love. I was perhaps eleven or twelve years old and found myself living inside that book. I savored every page. It obsessed me night and day. Then afternoon day I’m walking home from school with a friend, and I tell her I’m reading Jane Eyre and she says to me, “Oh have you gotten to the part about his crazy wife in the attic?” And I put my hands over my ears and screamed. Ever since then I won’t let anyone talk to me about a book or film they’ve enjoyed if I plan to read or see it.
A cualquier lector, aunque no esté muy formado, le preguntas y te sabe nombrar Orgullo y Prejuicio, Sentido y Sensibilidad o Emma. Hay muy pocas autoras a ese nivel, tienes a Rosalía de Castro, a Virginia Woolf, incluso en su momento a Santa Teresa de Jesús, o a las hermanas Brontë. (Marta Otero Mayán) (Translation)
Released in November 1977, Wuthering Heights was in the charts when Bush was still a teenager. “It’s nostalgic in a way”, explained Laura talking of her initial interest in Bush. “I’m a lot younger than the generation that heard Wuthering Heights when it came out. When I was a kid my parents had the single in a box of records. It sold well so is a common single and I later got a copy of the album The Kick Inside and seriously got into it and loved it in my teens.” (Richard Purden)
