About Book & Brunch with Essie Fox - Cedar Court Hotel

Get ready for a captivating morning of stories, conversation and a delicious brunch at our upcoming Book and Brunch event with Sunday Times bestselling author Essie Fox.

If you’ve found yourself newly obsessed with Wuthering Heights thanks to the buzz around the latest film adaptation, you’re not alone. The wild romance of the moors is firmly back in the spotlight and Essie Fox is here to take us deeper into that dark and irresistible world.

A master of gothic historical fiction and author of acclaimed novels including The Fascination, Dangerous and The Somnambulist, Essie’s latest novel, Catherine, daringly retells the classic tale through Catherine Earnshaw’s own voice. Passionate, rebellious and impossible to forget, Catherine finally gets to tell her side of one of literature’s most infamous love stories.

Over brunch, Essie will explore her fascination with the Brontës, reveal the inspiration behind reimagining a literary classic and share the secrets of bringing gothic drama, doomed romance and the windswept Yorkshire moors vividly to life.

Copies of Catherine will be available to purchase at the event, with the opportunity to have your book signed by Essie.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully intimate literary event with one of the UK’s most atmospheric storytellers.

Places are limited for this round table event. Breakfast will be served as a continental selection, including fruit, cured meats, cheeses, yogurts and pastries.
