While I never thought that 'Jane Eyre' needed a modern retelling (on account of it still being plenty relevant on its own - over 175 years later!), I thoroughly enjoyed this book and all the thoughtful changes that were made to the original plot.
And I think that, despite following the original setup and plot pretty closely, this book managed to stand on its own quite well, too. I loved this version of Jane both in her own right and as a faithful rendition of the original Jane in the way she was eagerly making the most out of the tiniest opportunities afforded her.
Lovely and highly rereadable. I think this is in danger of becoming another looped trap for me, like 'Howl's Moving Castle'.

A modern retelling of Jane Eyre?
*adds to cart*
This truly was so intelligent, well crafted and a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite stories ever. Ms Ma’am this was gorgeous.
If you love this tale. Pick it up. I think overall, stands pretty good on its own. Also, whatever this woman writes, I will read. Even if you makes fun of Californians.
