Jane vs. Jane Eyre
I read April
Lindner's JANE very quickly. It was fast moving and easy to read. I found it enjoyable too - the story of Jane Eyre, written in modern time. This Jane is working as a nanny for a handsome rock star. Of course there is a mystery in the mansion, and those who know the story of Jane Eyre know what that is! This book does not change Jane Eyre's story, so no surprises if you have read Charlotte
Bronte's original. The author is an English professor and she commented at the end that if her book encourages anyone to read Charlotte
Bronte's Jane Eyre, she would be happy about that. So, I am!
I am 10 chapters into Jane Eyre and it is so much more satisfying than Jane! What an amazing novel. If you haven't read it for a long time, or ever -- pick up a copy and get reading! But keep a dictionary handy - she uses some interesting vocabulary!
