"A
CRACKING-GOOD
READ!"--People,Best
New
Books
A
deft
and
irresistible
retelling
of
CharlotteBrontë'sbeloved
classic
Jane
Eyre--from
the
point
of
view
of
the
dashing,
mysterious
Mr.
Rochester
himself.
For
170
years,
Edward
Fairfax
Rochester
has
stood
as
one
of
literature's
most
complex
and
captivating
romantic
heroes.
Sometimes
cruel,
sometimes
tender,
Jane
Eyre's
mercurial
master
at
Thornfield
Hall
has
mesmerized,
beguiled,
and,
yes,
baffled
fans
of
Charlotte
Brontë's
masterpiece
for
generations.
But
his
own
story
has
never
been
told.
We
first
meet
this
brilliant,
tormented
hero
as
a
motherless
boy
roaming
Thornfield's
lonely
corridors.
On
the
morning
of
Edward's
eighth
birthday,
his
father
issues
a
decree:
He
is
to
be
sent
away
to
get
an
education,
exiled
from
all
he
ever
loved.
Young
Edward's
journey
will
take
him
across
working-class
England
and
the
decadence
of
continental
Europe
before
he
lands
on
the
warm,
languid
shores
of
faraway
Jamaica,
where
his
inheritance
lies.
That
island,
however,
holds
secrets
of
its
own,
and
Edward
soon
grows
entangled
in
morally
dubious
business
dealings
and
a
passionate,
whirlwind
love
affair
with
the
town's
ravishing
heiress,
Bertha
Antoinetta
Mason.
Eventually,
in
the
wake
of
a
devastating
betrayal,
Edward
must
return
to
England
with
his
increasingly
unstable
wife
to
take
over
as
master
of
Thornfield.
And
it
is
there,
on
a
twilight
ride,
that
he
meets
the
stubborn,
plain
young
governess
who
will
steal
his
heart
and
teach
him
how
to
love
again.
MR.
ROCHESTERis
a
sweeping
coming-of-age
story
and
a
stirring
tale
of
adventure,
romance,
and
deceit.
Faithful
in
every
particular
to
Brontë's
original
yet
full
of
unexpected
twists
and
riveting
behind-the-scenes
drama,
this
novel
will
completely,
deliciously,
and
forever
change
how
we
read
and
rememberJane
Eyre.

Recenzii
"Satisfying...
If
you
haven't
readJane
Eyre,
suspense
is
keen
as
the
climactic
end
approaches.
If
you
have
-
as
will
most
of
those
who
come
toMr.
Rochester-
the
novel's
dramatic
final
act
provides
the
quieter
pleasure
of
revisiting
one
of
literature's
great
love
stories
from
a
fresh
perspective."—USA

"Thoroughly
satisfying
and
creatively
imagined...It's
a
bold
task
to
take
on
a
heroic
figure
from
such
a
well-loved
novel,
and
it's
easy
to
imagine
fans
rejecting
any
attempt
to
dabble
with
a
story
often
read
not
once
but
several
times.
However,
readers
are
safe
and
well
entertained
in
Shoemaker's
capable
hands....Both
fans
of
Jane
Eyre
and
readers
new
to
the
story
will
delight
in
this
novel.
Not
only
will
they
discover
who
and
what
shaped
Rochester
into
a
dashing
but
infuriating
landowner
who
is
equal
parts
forceful
and
capricious,
but
they
will
also
enjoy
a
compelling
tale
in
its
own
right."
