I really wanted to love this book, because I'm a big Jane Eyre fan, but it didn't quite work out. I felt the parts which aren't my favorite were extended too long and the parts I wanted to see more of were rushed through. Then the big reveal wasn't really a big deal and the ending wasn't as dramatic as I hoped. I also kept picturing this taking place in the 1930's instead of the intended 1960's. I'm not sure why. I would love to see a dapper Mr. Rochester in his pinstriped suit! Oh well, overall I enjoyed it.
