Modern retelling of Jane Eyre. I'm so familiar with the source material I found myself more interested in seeing what tricks the author would use to adapt each scene to a modern setting then anything else. In the end, I feel both Jane and Rochester's characters suffer from the temporal transition, Rochester is too cruel and Jane too lacking in agency when they are taken out of the confines of a British hierarchical class system. In the end, it just made me want to reread The Eyre Affair.
