Reader, I married him.
What an iconic line. I love Jane Eyre, at one point obsessed with it (I still am) so reading this collection of short stories in which they re-tell parts of Jane Eyre was just amazing. It fills you with nostalgia of the novel and the characters and with a modern story spin on the story it makes for a memorable read!
Here are some titles that were my favourite from the collection;

Grace Poole Her Testimony- Helen Dunmore
Reader; I Married Him - Susan Hill
A Migrating Bird - Elif Shafak
Reader; She Married Me - Salley Vickers
Party Girl - Nadifa Mohamed
The Orphan Exchange - Audrey Niffenegger

Highly recommend for fans of Jane Eyre!

'Always, always in these stories there is love - whether it is the first spark or the last dying embers - in its many heart--breaking, life affirming forms.'
