A modern day retelling of Jane Eyre that will have you twisting yourself in knots to determine who's the bad person. You will get fooled once or twice.
The book hooks you in at the beginning. The dialogue can be pedantic at times and I'll admit the narration of the wife's voice drove me up a while. I also thought at times the heroine was too stupid to live. I enjoyed it despite those faults.
