It’s all very confusing to Jane as to what her real position in life is and why, even though the estate was her father’s, her aunt lives in the main house and them in a cottage. Her family is wealthy and live on her father’s estate. She’s born to a French mother and a father who has died. Jane narrates her “memoirs” to us and this is how we follow her story. It’s like a weird breaking of the fourth wall.Īnyway.
It’s a strange one because whilst it’s certainly a retelling of Jane Eyre, the main character (Jane) reads Jane Eyre obsessively – it’s her favourite book. This is a reimagining of Jane Eyre and it’s bloody fantastic. Jane Steele herself was a great, dry-humoured narrator and I would highly, highly recommend this to you! The murder and mystery laced through its pages were delectable and the settings – grungy London to great estate houses – were fantastic.
Never have I been so glad to have spontaneously decided to read a book. Genre: Young Adult, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Retelling (Jane Eyre)
