Becoming Jane Eyre by Sheila Kohler

3.0

this was quiet lovely.
but i felt a bit long winded interestingly enough since it only has 220 pages to begin with!

i loved charlottes perspectives, learning how she might have written jane eyre and what er life was like during that time.

the writing was also well done, fitting for what was told on most aspects.

but is ain’t see the need for the pov switch to a nurse for charlottes father, charlottes father or emily’s. there was no need for both of them to basically say that charlotte was seen in one way but light actually be someone else entirely different from her plain looks. it was already describe at least a handful of times during charlottes own side!
they didn’t bring anything to he story itself.

i also could have done without the description of the nurse masturbation while praying, or a description of how charlottes father forced her mother to have sex when ever he felt like it never considered her at all!
was it necessary to put that kn this book in way more detail and description than what i just used?
the answer is no by he way.

overall it’s a great book to read if you want a little widow into the life of the bronte’s and what might have inspired charlotte to write her much loved novel.

it’s a good book, just sadly not as great was i wished it would have been for me personally. but that could always be my current reading mood instead of the book itself.
