Becoming Jane Eyre by Sheila Kohler
A really interesting fictional account of how Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre. My only criticism, it was a bit short.
Well that was disappointing! Quick read, got through it in an afternoon. It was so beautifully written, until you reach the last couple chapters and it almost feels as if the author handed it off to a high school student to finish. Could definitely have been a much better ending.
Interesting to learn more about Bronte and her sister through historical fiction, but very dry.
