    About this ebook

    ‘The sky is the first thing, I haven’t…

    I haven’t ever seen the sea, it isn’t

    the colour I…

    The boat dips and…’

    Lucy Snowe, a clone – one of three, survivor of a deadly pandemic sets out on a journey in search of a future. She travels to an archaeological dig, a hill of bones, a project looking for the elusive Lady of Villette.p>

    But the hill slides, haunted by the past Lucy begins a faltering journey back to living and the possibility of desire.

    ‘To say it, I never said it out-loud,

    That love…

    Could be possible.’

    On the 200th anniversary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth, West Yorkshire Playhouse celebrates her unique genius with a daring new adaptation by Linda Marshall-Griffiths.
