![]() I would like to thank Eve Marie Monte for allowing me to fall in love with the novel all over again. I have to admit my love affair with Jane Eyre started to diminish after years of teaching the novel. The woman who wants to speak her mind yet hides her courage behind locked doors. The female reader can instantly connect to Emma whether she is 12 or 65 the sense feeling confident yet unsure, too visible yet invisible, safe yet uncertain, and yet a sense of where you are going but not where you came from. The reader does not get lost through the changes of time and is allowed to feel the same jarring that Emma feels when she is first torn away into a different world. She moves flawlessly through two realities, her own world and that of Jane's Yorkshire,England. I loved how Mont gave her multiple dimensions. It is this same feeling Eve Marie Mont brought to her novel.Įmma must go on her own journey. Haunting and mesmerizing are just two words I could use to describe the landscape. ![]() When I studied in England I lived in York very close to the moors in the novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since my high school days I have always loved Charlotte Brontë and most especially Jane Eyre the Gothic romance, the mysterious woman in the attic, the haunted nature of the Yorkshire Moors. ![]()
