Description

Jane Steele is a darkly brilliant retelling of Jane Eyre by Edgar-nominated author Lyndsay Faye. In this Gothic novel, Jane suffers cruelly at the hands of her aunt and schoolmaster, leading her to flee and leave behind the corpses of her tormentors. As a fugitive navigating London's underbelly, she rights wrongs on behalf of the have-nots while avoiding the noose. When an advertisement catches her eye, Jane takes a position as governess at Highgate House, where she becomes embroiled in the household's strange spell and falls in love with the mysterious Charles Thornfield. However, she faces a terrible dilemma: can she possess him - body, soul and secrets - without revealing her murderous past? This gripping tale explores themes of identity, morality and the complexities of human relationships, set against the atmospheric backdrop of Victorian London.
