Be assured: whoever you are, and whatever you write, there is a place for you here! Information = frontdesk@allsaints-pas.org.
Friday, March 27 — Fiction Fun! Reads Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights
In the Guild Room. 6:30 p.m. for early conversations; 7:30–8:30 p.m. for book discussion. Wuthering Heights is the English language’s great, over-the-top, romantic novel. Emily Brontë (1816–55), one of three literary daughters of an English clergyman, wanted to write something dark and passionate and powerful, and she succeeded. There’s a new film adaptation coming out in February, and its advertising copy is already proclaiming “the greatest love story of all time.” Yet arguably, the story isn’t quite that. As a Guardian article has pointed out, “what actually happens is that Cathy rejects Heathcliff because she’s a snob, and he turns into a psychopath.” Still, Wuthering Heights is a love story, and maybe the wildest, strangest, and most melodramatic one there’ll ever be.
