The Glass Woman by Caroline Lea

3.0

---

Another look at the Rebecca/Jane Eyre story, this time set in late 1600s Iceland. Instead of moors, we have remote villages living on the edge of survival at the whims of weather for how the crops and fishing fare. There's a lot of superstition and suspicion of those who are "different", including those who come from outside the village, and the claustrophobic life that Rosa lives post-marriage only adds to the mounting sense of doom.
