Commentary In Favor Of Books Jane
Forced to drop out of an esteemed East Coast college after the sudden death of her parents, Jane Moore takes a nanny job at Thornfield Park, the estate of Nico Rathburn, a world-famous rock star on the brink of a huge comeback. Practical and independent, Jane reluctantly becomes entranced by her magnetic and brooding employer and finds herself in the midst of a forbidden romance. But there's a mystery at Thornfield, and Jane's much-envied relationship with Nico is soon tested by an agonizing secret from his past. Torn between her feelings for Nico and his fateful secret, Jane must decide: Does being true to herself mean giving up on true love? An irresistible romance interwoven with a darkly engrossing mystery, this contemporary retelling of the beloved classic Jane Eyre promises to enchant a new generation of readers.Itemize Regarding Books Jane

When I think of Jane Eyre, I think of a dark mystery, beautiful prose, and strongly moral characters. Most of all, I think of the undercurrent of passion that burns through all of its primary characters, from the tortured Mr. Rochester to his poor mad wife, to the zealous Mr. Rivers to the unhappy and neglected Adele, and above all else, in the quietly determined Jane herself. It is very strange, therefore, to read a book based on this story that is so severely lacking in any of those elements.***I guess I should say this review contains slight spoilers, but nothing of much consequence***Earlier this year I had the pleasure or reading an incredible piece of literary genius, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. I devoured it. And while my classmates were obsessing over Edward Cullen (I am only 15 after all), I was wishing for my very own Edward Rochester :) Needless to say, I became obsessed. So, when I came across April Linder's Jane while browsing on my kindle, I was extremely excited to
Are you looking for a modern take on a classic tale minus zombies or vampires? Friend, I think Jane by April Lindner is the book for you. To me, Jane was a worthy version of Jane Eyre. I absolutely loved this re-telling. In this version, Jane Eyre is now Jane Moore, a 19 year old who must drop out of college due to financial necessity. She accepts a job nannying for aging rocker, Nico Rathburn. What results is a quiet romance, never overt, but gently unfolding. ALSO omfg, DEVELOPMENT. It's not
I'm a huge Bronte fan and Jane Eyre is by far one of my all time favorite classics so I was excited to see an updated version of it and thought it would be so much fun.Sadly, this didn't work for me at all. Jane and Rathburn had a weird relationship from the beginning and it felt very awkward and almost forced. Like we were lead to believe they cared for each other and yet, there really wasn't any evidence there of said feelings. Yes, I know Jane is very much reserved but even in the classic,
You know how you love a classic? Not many, just a few that hit you in the gut and heart so hard that you can't breath? That's how I feel about Bronte's "Jane Eyre." It is my favorite! I approached "Jane" by April Lindner with some trepidation and inside-my-head warnings to the author and narrator: DON'T disappoint me. DON'T stink. DON'T be cheesy. DO be delightful and creative and please tickle me a bit. Well, I can honestly say that Lindner's "Jane" did just that. The contemporary setting of a
What if . . .?Jane Eyre got her job at Discriminating Nannies, Inc.And Mr. Rochester drove a fast car on a hairpin turn.And they both ran into each other, of course, then floated on plastic rafts in the pool, flirted at rehearsals for his world rock band tour, and, oh yes, endured all the angst and self-doubt, jealousy and drama of the original tale.Well, then you would have JaneApril Linders sparkling new novel of impossible love, tragic deceit, and . . . a wicked fine guitar solo.
