A review by spauffwrites
Becoming Jane Eyre by Sheila Kohler

2.0

The story switches POVs between the three sisters and their father, Patrick Bronte. Obviously, since the book is titled "Becoming Jane Eyre," Charlotte's voice is the strongest and the strongest part of the book is the beginning, when she is in Manchester writing the first part of her novel. After she finishes Jane Eyre, everything wraps up very quickly. The tone of the novel got on my nerves a bit; I felt like Kohler was trying too hard to be dark and mysterious. But she does a good job of showing how Charlotte's life influenced her writing. Probably for Bronte fans only.
