Emma Townsend has always
believed in stories—the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she
creates in her head. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at
her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close
to filling the void left by her mother’s death. And her only romantic
prospect—apart from a crush on her English teacher—is Gray Newman, a
long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. But escape soon
arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre…
Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known—and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own…

I picked this one because it sounds so perfect for me! I love Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë, so this obviously excites my interest. It's kind of like how people still love reading Jane Austen's novels and writing their own fiction about them--you can't just let those swoon-worthy heroes fade away into fictional history.

It's Rochester.... *Sigh* Anyway, my favorite version of Mr. Rochester, although he is far too pretty to have played his part, is Michael Fassbender.
Did anyone else see him in that latest movie adaptation of Jane Eyre from 2011? Lord, who doesn't fall in love with Fassy once they get a gander of him!?Wow... I love this guy, aside from his role as Rochester, even. Guess who has been recast as Rochester for me in this book.
Yes, he is quite Fass-inating....

ReplyDelete@Lilly: That's great! I love historicals, too.
DeleteGreat pick, Cathy! I only learned of this book yesterday. Crazy, right?! I look forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete@Andrea: Yeah, no one is really talking about this book. But, it looks good!
DeleteAm liking this feature! Why just talk about books you've received for review? Great way to get more exposure to books.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick. Am dying to read this one, too! Sounds fantastic! :)
Ashelynn @ Gypsy Book Reviews.
@Ash: Thank you! There are so many books I never get for review, if anything, because the publishers won't let me review their ARCs. But, that shouldn't stop me from blogging about those books.
DeleteGreat new blog feature! The premise of this book sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete@Camille: Thanks! I hope to keep it up here and there.
DeleteI haven't actually read Jane Eyre. I think classics intimidate me a little so I tend to put them off. I adore Michael Fassbender. Although I first loved him in such violent movies as Centurion and 300! Sigh.
ReplyDelete@Lan: Finally, somebody else who loves Mr. Fass-inating! I'm so happy to know that!
DeleteAnyway, Jane Eyre is an awesome book. You should give it a try.
