Narration During Books Jane

Forced to drop out of an esteemed East Coast college after the sudden death of her parents, Jane Moore takes a nanny job at Thornfield Park, the estate of Nico Rathburn, a world-famous rock star on the brink of a huge comeback. Practical and independent, Jane reluctantly becomes entranced by her magnetic and brooding employer and finds herself in the midst of a forbidden romance.

But there's a mystery at Thornfield, and Jane's much-envied relationship with Nico is soon tested by an agonizing secret from his past. Torn between her feelings for Nico and his fateful secret, Jane must decide: Does being true to herself mean giving up on true love?

An irresistible romance interwoven with a darkly engrossing mystery, this contemporary retelling of the beloved classic Jane Eyre promises to enchant a new generation of readers.

For people who have read and loved Jane Eyre, who admire Jane for her strength of character, who fell in love with Mr. Rochester, and who sigh over the passion of their love: stay away from this book. You'll be very, very dissappointed.April Lindner has attempted a modern retelling. In the Author's Note at the end, she wonders why there aren't more retellings of Jane Eyre, as there are of Pride and Prejudice. She doesn't say why this is something that Charlotte Bronte's fans should envy. She

I loved this book. Loved it more than any book since Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly. I devoured it and was sad when it was over. But why?Well, it is a revision of Jane Eyre, which I adore, and it does a better job with the portion of Jane Eyre I hate (her time after leaving Rochester) but there was something more to it. The characters are incredibly compelling. Jane makes sense. Her reasons for staying in the shadows and for falling so quickly in love with Rothburn make sense-- a child who had

You know how you love a classic? Not many, just a few that hit you in the gut and heart so hard that you can't breath? That's how I feel about Bronte's "Jane Eyre." It is my favorite! I approached "Jane" by April Lindner with some trepidation and inside-my-head warnings to the author and narrator: DON'T disappoint me. DON'T stink. DON'T be cheesy. DO be delightful and creative and please tickle me a bit. Well, I can honestly say that Lindner's "Jane" did just that. The contemporary setting of a

When I think of Jane Eyre, I think of a dark mystery, beautiful prose, and strongly moral characters. Most of all, I think of the undercurrent of passion that burns through all of its primary characters, from the tortured Mr. Rochester to his poor mad wife, to the zealous Mr. Rivers to the unhappy and neglected Adele, and above all else, in the quietly determined Jane herself. It is very strange, therefore, to read a book based on this story that is so severely lacking in any of those elements.

What if . . .?Jane Eyre got her job at Discriminating Nannies, Inc.And Mr. Rochester drove a fast car on a hairpin turn.And they both ran into each other, of course, then floated on plastic rafts in the pool, flirted at rehearsals for his world rock band tour, and, oh yes, endured all the angst and self-doubt, jealousy and drama of the original tale.Well, then you would have JaneApril Linders sparkling new novel of impossible love, tragic deceit, and . . . a wicked fine guitar solo.

I'm a huge Bronte fan and Jane Eyre is by far one of my all time favorite classics so I was excited to see an updated version of it and thought it would be so much fun.Sadly, this didn't work for me at all. Jane and Rathburn had a weird relationship from the beginning and it felt very awkward and almost forced. Like we were lead to believe they cared for each other and yet, there really wasn't any evidence there of said feelings. Yes, I know Jane is very much reserved but even in the classic,

Let me start by saying that I love Jane Eyre. Theres something so effortless about the way Bronte weaves her stories that even if I may not like the plot, I will invariably read her book for the strength of the prose alone. The mastery of the words, the beauty of the sentences all these things that has the literature buff in me swooning.I wont say that Jane Eyre is timeless. I mean, yes, the themes explored in Jane Eyre are timeless but the actual events? No, not so much. At least, I dont think
