Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite classic novels, I re-read it just this past year as a prelude to reading Charlotte and Emily by Jude Morgan, and we also watched the most recent movie version not too long ago. This particular book, The Flight of Gemma Hardy, has been on my list, and I borrowed it from Ann Gaston.
It's a modern re-telling of the Bronte novel, set in the 1960's, and it follows the original story line very closely, but with enough bends in it to make it more modern. I didn't find the romance between Gemma and Mr. Sinclair quite as meaningful as in the original, and I felt a bit of a let-down by the ending, but I'd still give it four stars.
