I love that Jane and Edward are flawed--and I chock a lot of Jane's feelings and thoughts as part of that time period. I know some think Edward is the romantic heroes of all romantic heroes, but I cannot go that far (not even close). I'd much rather Mr. Darcy. I love the Gothic feel of the novel and Charlotte's writing. Alas, she isn't for everyone--and I accept that. I do hope you will read Jane Steele just the same. I finished it this past week and absolutely loved it. I hope you will too. It leans heavily on Jane Eyre, and so I think you will be at an advantage going in having read that. But it's a satire and a story all on its own. Different enough, as Jane Steele herself will tell you. Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
