Charlotte Brontë was the eldest of the Brontë sisters, three siblings whose novels--Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Halls, to name but three--are now considered classics. In 1848, Emily died from tuberculosis; she was just 30 years old. A few days after her death, Charlotte wrote to her publisher.
The letter is read by Louise Brealey for LETTERS LIVE.

LETTERS LIVE is a series of live events celebrating the power of literary correspondence.

It has become a phenomenon wherever is has played in the UK.
The idea of LETTERS LIVE is simple: we ask talented, inspiring and high-profile artists from various disciplines to read letters out loud to our audiences. LETTERS LIVE celebrates letter writing and the art of correspondence first and foremost.
