About Sharon Wright - Filey Evron Centre

I am at Filey utterly alone, wrote Jane Eyre author Charlotte Brontë, after retreating to the town that gave her time and peace to recover from the loss of her sisters Emily and Anne, and her brother Branwell. Sharon Wright reveals the surprising role of Filey and Bridlington in the Brontë story, places often overshadowed by Scarborough.

Join Sharon to discoverwhy this radical biography, co-authored with Ann Dinsdale, principal curator at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, unlocks the secrets of the houses the Brontë sisters knew and the East Coast places they loved. Sharon Wright is an award-winning journalist and author of the Amazon #1 bestselling biography of Maria Branwell Brontë. Her research for thisnew book led to a correction on the Brontë memorial in Westminster Abbey, which made headlines worldwide. She has also been interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Today, The Times, The Guardian, The Observer, and The New York Times.
