Unlike Jane Eyre, however, Jane Steele has just as many secrets as her employer does, including but not limited to the fact that Jane Steele has killed several people. Their lives are not exactly the same but they share many parallels – both wind up as orphans with cruel aunts, both attended wretched boarding schools, and both work as governesses for brooding, mysterious men with whom they fall madly in love.
It’s the story of a Victorian woman, Jane Steele, who reads Jane Eyre and is inspired to write her own autobiography. Jane Steele is not a direct retelling of Jane Eyre. NB: book titles in this review are italicized while names are not.
Jane Steele, however, was just about the most viciously satisfying thing in the history of ever. I’ve read about a vampire slayer Janes ( Jane Slayre ) and Jane in space ( Jenna Starborn ) and Jane in the 1950s ( The Flight of Gemma Hardy ) and many more, and I’m usually disappointed. Genre: Historical: European, Mystery/ThrillerĪs an ardent fan of Jane Eyre, I have read many literary adaptations of her story.
