gobblebook 's review for:
Mr. Rochester
by Sarah Shoemaker
Thoroughly enjoyable Jane Eyre fan fiction. It is the Jane Eyre story from Mr. Rochester's point of view. Just like Jane Eyre, the book is written as a memoir in the first person, and starts from Edward's earliest memories of feeling lonely as a child. We learn about his education, his time in Jamaica, how he came to be married to a madwoman, and how he ended up with a ward who needed a governess. Naturally, the most fun part of the book is when he retells the events from Jane Eyre. We see his emotional manipulations of Jane from his perspective. It meshes perfectly with what happens in Bronte's book. _Mr. Rochester_ adds a lot of depth to _Jane Eyre_ and makes Edward a very sympathetic character.
