In a modern and twisty retelling of Jane Eyre, a young woman must question everything she thinks she knows about love, loyalty, and murder.Jane has lost everything: job, mother, relationship, even her home. A friend calls to offer an unusual deal—a cottage above the crashing surf of Big Sur on the estate of his employer, Evan Rochester. In return, Jane will tutor his teenage daughter. She accepts.But nothing is quite as it seems at the Rochester estate. Though he’s been accused of murdering his glamorous and troubled wife, Evan Rochester insists she drowned herself. Jane is skeptical, but she still finds herself falling for the brilliant and secretive entrepreneur and growing close to his daughter.And yet her deepening feelings for Evan can’t disguise dark suspicions aroused when a ghostly presence repeatedly appears in the night’s mist and fog. Jane embarks on an intense search for answers and uncovers evidence that soon puts Evan’s innocence into question. She’s determined to discover what really happened that fateful night, but what will the truth cost her?

Wowza! This is good! Quick correction: This is amazing! It’s so natural to have some doubts when you start reading modern retelling of one of the most brilliant literature masterpieces which fully deserves its high praises for its bold and unique approach to the feminism and introducing us one of th......more

Goodreads review by Jayme on February 27, 2021

2.5 ⭐️ This story is described as a modern, retelling of Jane Eyre, a novel penned in 1847 by Charlotte Bronte. I almost always enjoy retellings. I have no problem with new books paying homage to a Classic. But, sadly, this time, it didn’t work for me. This Jane, has recently lost her Mom, and her job......more

Goodreads review by Brenda Marie on June 29, 2021

This is the retelling Jane Eyre fans have been waiting for! Chilling. Gothic. Use of original names and characters. A shady husband. Haunting house. Just everything. Jane's show has been canceled; her mom died; her boyfriend turned out to be less than worthy. Bank account dwindling- what is Jane goi......more

Marcott did a solid job in this amazing retelling of one of my favorite gothic stories, Jane Eyre. This modern retelling had all the nods to the original story but with a great present day adaptation. Jane’s life has taken a turn for the worst, and she loses everything including her mother, her rela......more

Quotes

“[Eva] Kaminsky, as Jane, sounds young, savvy, and appropriately consumed by the mystery surrounding Beatrice's disappearance.… As Beatrice, [Carly] Robins sounds truly deranged, especially during her psychotic episodes and horrific self-mutilations. Despite cell phones, motorcycles, and computers, this contemporary Gothic works, thanks to clever writing and two exceptionally talented narrators.” —AudioFile Magazine“A modern American Jane Eyre…Marcott’s reworking of this Gothic classic holds its own.” —Kirkus Reviews“This imaginative take on Charlotte Brontë’s Gothic novel has several satisfying nods to the source material, but veers away just enough to create a refreshing new experience. Marcott’s Jane is a formidable protagonist…Fans of Jane Eyre who enjoyed Rachel Hawkins’s The Wife Upstairs will appreciate this equally enjoyable retelling from Marcott.” —Library Journal (starred review)
