Book Excerpt for the Day


    “Well, we’re almost there.  Stop one of our Yorkshire literary tour.  We’ll see the famous parsonage at Haworth, where the ill-fated but creative Bronte family lived, loved, and died to the last member.  You’ve read the novels, of course?”

    “I’ve seen the movies,” Joseph said.  “I worked at MGM when they were making the Wuthering Heights with Larry Olivier.”

    “So you’ve never read the novels?”  Lewis’s lips thinned slightly.

    “I might have scanned them in school.”  Joseph shrugged, refusing to admit to anything.  “Real men don’t read Jane Eyre.”
