![]() ![]() I was just a little disappointed in how Bee/Bertha ended up. On the other hand, it would have been a fool’s errand to try to live up to Jane Eyre so maybe Hawkins made the right decision.Īnyway, this book was fun! I did enjoy seeing how she transformed the various characters, and the red herrings and twists were well done, and I think she pulled them off. Which is fine! But a bit of a disappointment as a retelling of one of the most influential novels ever written. This is really just a fun bit of frippery with not much substance in the end. And I love Jane Eyre, and while this book shares characters, the characters don’t share motivations, not really. I think it would have read like just another thriller. In the end, it was down for this one, because I don’t think, had I not read Jane Eyre, that I would have been very interested in it at all. So many 3.5 star books lately, and so hard to decide whether to round up or down. ![]()
