Publisher's Synopsis
Commissioned to celebrate Charlotte Bronte's bicentenary year in 2016, this collection of original stories by today's finest women writers draws inspiration from a line in JANE EYRE. A bohemian wedding party takes an unexpected turn for the bride and her daughter... A family trip to a Texan waterpark prompts a life-changing decision... Mr Rochester reveals a long-kept secret... Jane's married life after the original novel ends is explored... A new mother encounters an old lover after her daily swim, and inexplicably lies to him... A fitness instructor teaches teenage boys how to handle a pit bull terrier by telling them Jane Eyre's story. These tales, and more, salute the lasting relevance of Bronte's famous novel and its themes of love, compromise and self-determination.
