If you have read Jane Eyre, there is no mystery here. You know the secret, but it just doesn't matter - you'll still need to keep turning the page. While staying remarkably close to the original, Lindner makes the story totally hers, makes it work, and makes you fall in love with this Victorian gothic all over again. If you haven't read Jane Eyre, there is no better introduction. And if it leads you to the original, all the better.

Jane by April Lindner - Review
If you have read Jane Eyre, there is no mystery here. You know the secret, but it just doesn't matter - you'll still need to keep turning the page. While staying remarkably close to the original, Lindner makes the story totally hers, makes it work, and makes you fall in love with this Victorian gothic all over again. If you haven't read Jane Eyre, there is no better introduction. And if it leads you to the original, all the better.
