Jane Steele
by Lyndsay Faye
While this is less of a serial killer novel than I was led to believe, it was still fantastic. Jane Eyre is one of my favourite classic novels of all time and I a feel like this retelling is one of my favourites to be inspired by its pages.
Jane’s story differs from the original tale in she does not come from nothing but after something terrible happens choose to go to governess school and see if she can change her ways. Spoiler: that doesn’t happen.
What ensues through the rest of this book is a pure gold narrative of a murderess and her story of making her way back to her family home and the life she once knew.
I so enjoyed this Jane’s story, as much as I enjoyed Jane Eyre’s original story, and I want this author to write more retellings this way because this one knocked it out of the park. Serial killer Elizabeth Bennett next please!
