Rochester: A Novel Inspired by Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre"

About this book

"After years of self-centered wandering shielding my shattered spirit from further vain expectation I now knew what it was to be loved." Yet.... "A cursed damaged aging wretch as I had no right to one so innocent lovely good and gifted as she..." Edward Fairfax Rochester. He remains one of nineteenth-century English literatures most enduring sex symbols and to this day women the world over continue to swoon for him. Rochester is an imaginative exploration of Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre as seen through the eyes of a fiercely sensuous and introspective leading man. His story is told with all the realism of a passionate masculine heart in narrative enriched with keen observations of settings and fellow players. Through Edwards words we leave behind coincidence and politesse to wander through his evocative world and probe what otherwise might have happened from that compelling first meeting onward. We are given Edwards life of pain and travel beside him to absolution through the unsullied form of a lonesome young governess. Here Rochester tells of their journey in his own uninhibited saucy conceited funny manly way and would never dream of fading to black when the bedchamber door shuts.
