This book is a continuation of "Jane Eyre", one of my all-time favorite classics. Jane has given birth to a son, and is very happy in her marriage to Rochester. But his ward,Adele, who is attending a private school in London, writes a strange letter, and Jane is sent to find out what is going on. Of course, there's a big mystery - well not really, it's actually a little mystery but the author drags it out like crazy and by about 2/3 of the way through you're just crazy for it to be over.
No one does Jane Eyre like Charlotte Bronte, I guess. I did like The Flight of Gemma Hardy, though, which is a re-writing of Jane's story - this is a continuation. Two stars.....
