'Reader, I murdered him.' JANE STEELE is a brilliant Gothic
retelling of JANE EYRE from Edgar-nominated Lyndsay Faye, for fans
of LONGBOURN and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES.'I loved it' -
Elly Griffiths ** JANE STEELE HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN EDGAR AWARD
FOR BEST NOVEL 2017 ** Like the heroine of the novel she adores,
Jane Steele suffers cruelly at the hands of her aunt and
schoolmaster. And like Jane Eyre, they call her wicked - but in her
case, she fears the accusation is true. When she flees, she leaves
behind the corpses of her tormentors. A fugitive navigating
London's underbelly, Jane rights wrongs on behalf of the have-nots
whilst avoiding the noose. Until an advertisement catches her eye.
Her aunt has died and the new master at Highgate House, Mr
Thornfield, seeks a governess. Anxious to know if she is Highgate's
true heir, Jane takes the position and is soon caught up in the
household's strange spell. When she falls in love with the
mysterious Charles Thornfield, she faces a terrible dilemma: can
she possess him - body, soul and secrets - and what if he discovers
her murderous past?
