Continuing the saga of the Gothic classic Jane Eyre.
Author Julia Harbour's debut novel reintroduces us to Adele, Jane, and Rochester in the Gothic drama we know so well. As the classic story moves forward, secrets are revealed. A heritage is denied.

Rich with breathtaking surprises, Not Forgetting Adele is a gripping tale of a young woman whose courage and determination changes the lives of everyone around her. Like its predecessor, Not Forgetting Adele will find a place in all our hearts.

Hailed as Charlotte Brontë’s “finest novel” by Virginia Woolf, Villette is the timeless semi-autobiographical tale of Lucy Snowe. Left with no family and no money, Lucy goes against her own timid nature and travels to the small city of Villette, France, where she becomes a school teacher in Madame Beck’s school for girls. During her stay, she falls in love—twice—and discovers an independent, inner strength rarely seen in women of her time.

Set in a chaotic time in England, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Caroline Helstone's world is turned upside down when she meets the vivacious Shirley Keeldar. Shirley becomes a beacon of light for Caroline as the two become close friends. However, Caroline is soon shocked to discover that Shirley has won the affections of Robert Moore, the impoverished mill owner whom she loves. Fully representative of Yorkshire life at the time, Brontë's second novel is completely gripping, unrelenting and utterly wrenching in its portrayal.

Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Guy de Maupassant is revered for his naturalistic fiction, which brilliantly captures flesh-and-blood characters as it evokes the most telling details of everyday life. Considered one of the finest French novels ever written, Bel Ami follows journalist Georges Duroy and his increasing stature among the Paris elite. With an immense thirst for power, Georges is not above an almost gleeful use of wealthy mistresses to achieve his ends.

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

fairly satisfying conclusion to Jane Eyre
I found the story mainly plausible, with a few unlikely elements. It's certainly was interesting to consider the future of Jane and Edward. The ending was fairly satisfying.
unfortunately I felt that the narrators performance was not the best. when Adele spoke I felt like it couldn't be her voice, and the attempts to speak as a male, unfortunately made her sound like an old lady.

Predictable
The story was pleasant enough I felt the characters to be thin. My issue is primarily with quick solutions to challenges. Large life decisions felt over simplified with easy answers, no fleshed out resolution, no personal conflict and decisions were “right there”. Everything evolved neatly in an overly tidy story. - I didn’t really care deeply about the characters from this version. No strife without an easy resolution no emotional conflict like Jane experienced in the original. The narrators light jocular cadence added to the simple light story. Good voice changing from character to character but found it hard to listen to at times for this particular story.
Easy light read. Satisfying ending.

A pleasant story and expansion of one the characters from the brilliant novel Jane Eyere.
I didn't not like the narration. I wasn't taken along with emotion into the journey of the character and did not find the narrator suitable for this story, I actually found the voice off putting at times.
