Finding Belle and Finding Charlotte

6 Jul 2025

12:15 - 13:15

Bradford Live

Join BBC News correspondent Reeta Chakrabarti and award-winning novelist Martina Devlin for a compelling discussion on the lasting legacy of Charlotte Brontë.  

Reeta’s debut novel, Finding Belle, is a haunting, evocative story of identity, betrayal, and maternal bonds, drawing on themes from Jane Eyre. Martina’s Charlotte reimagines Brontë’s little-known time in Ireland, blending passion, friendship, and intrigue. Together, they explore how Charlotte Brontë’s life and work continue to inspire modern fiction, shaping powerful narratives of resilience and self-discovery.  

This event offers fresh insight into one of literature’s most enduring figures through the lens of two acclaimed contemporary writers.
