I haven't read any of Jane Eyre or any of those books. But I know enough from retellings to say that this was kind of a second book/retelling but from the daughter's perspective. And so I'm not sure how many elements were changed. But I did like what she did with the characters. That being said I did figure out one major "twist" pretty early, but I didn't predict everything about it, just the who. I enjoyed the feminism and the powerful women. Overall a good book.
