I read several rave reviews of Lyndsay Faye’s Jane Steele, and while I was a bit nervous about the serial killer angle (will it be like Sweeney Todd? I wondered), I was more than happy to give it a shot. Jane Eyre was a novel I looooooved in high school and then, as an adult, realized that Mr. Rochester is a very bad man. A very bad man indeed.
[Shhhh, not now, Daniel. We’ll talk about you later.]
Anyway, I read Patricia Park’s most excellent Korean-American adaptation, Re Jane, for CBR7 and was curious to see what Steele could come up with. I’ll warn you, friends: my review is not as glowing as other CBR friends’ reviews. I’ve got the full review with Reasons on my blog, and I’ll be interested to hear the thoughts from those who have read and raved already!
