Adele, the daughter of a celebrated Parisian actress, is a
homesick, forlorn eight-year-old when first brought to Thornfield
Hall by Edward Fairfax Rochester, her mother's former lover. Lonely
and ill at ease in the unfamiliar English countryside, she longs to
return to the glitter of Paris . . . and to the mother who has been
lost to her.
But a small ray of sunshine brightens her eternal gloom when a
stranger arrives to care for her--a serious yet intensely loving
young governess named Jane Eyre--even as young Adele's curiosity
leads her deeper into the shadowy manor, toward the dark and
terrible secret that is locked away in a high garret. . . .
Includes fascinating in-depth background material about
Charlotte Bronte and the Jane Eyre legacy
