My edition had some reading group notes at the end one of which asked when this book was set. It really made me think as the book is written in such a way that it could be placed anywhere within the 20th century and even the "modern" section could well be historical. The book is truly timeless while still having a strong sense of setting and atmosphere and that takes true skill. This really allowed the book to take its place among the classic gothic tales which it references and is inspired by. Overall, a wonderful reading experience.
WARNING: If you somehow have managed to avoid knowledge of the ending of Jane Eyre, this book will spoil it.
