3.0

Overall I quite liked this collection of short stories inspired by Jane Eyre. Some of these stories offer interesting new takes on scenes from the book (even though I don't always agree with their characterisation), others are set in different times or environments but still show us a glimpse of our beloved characters. With some stories, however, I had no idea at all how they were in any way connected with Jane Eyre or any of the book's themes or characters. I'd really like an explanation for those, but the majority were at least good and some even really excellent.
