Becoming Jane Eyre

256 pages

[This doesn't have to be an official book club submission, but I thought I'd put it up in case anyone was interested. I've not read it so I don't know how good it is, but it has received some good reviews on Amazon. But, if you are interested, we could add this to the possible list. It might be fun to read this in conjunction with Jane Eyre -- maybe back to back.]

A fictional take on Charlotte Bronte and her life and how she takes pieces of her life to create Jane Eyre.

For those of you that love Jane Eyre, this might be a fun read.

Book Summary
The year is 1846. In a cold parsonage on the gloomy Yorkshire moors, a family seems cursed with disaster. A mother and two children dead. A father sick, without fortune, and hardened by the loss of his two most beloved family members. A son destroyed by alcohol and opiates. And three strong, intelligent young women, reduced to poverty and spinsterhood, with nothing to save them from their fate. Nothing, that is, except their remarkable literary talent.

So unfolds the story of the Brontë sisters. At its center are Charlotte and the writing of Jane Eyre. Delicately unraveling the connections between one of fiction's most indelible heroines and the remarkable woman who created her, Sheila Kohler's Becoming Jane Eyre will appeal to fans of historical fiction and, of course, the millions of readers who adore Jane Eyre
