DESCRIPTION:
I reveled in this retelling of Jane Eyre from Mr. Rochester’s point of view. I should start this review with saying that I’m not a fan of Fan-Fiction. I actually refuse to read them. I always felt that they are unnecessary and would ruin my opinion of the original work written. Boy, was I wrong! Ms. Shoemaker’s Mr. Rochester has forever changed my mind about Fan-Fiction.I read Jane Eyre a long time ago and I’ve seen almost every version filmed of the classic tale. M. S. Harrison said A Triumph!. An incredible read. I'm a fan of JANE EYRE and have read that novel many times. Sarah Shoemaker's MR. ROCHESTER kept me spellbound. I loved that she began with Rochester's childhood, and I loved that she so carefully developed a background for this complex character that rang so true psychologically. Many times I paused in my reading to think, "How did she know? How on earth did she ever know?" Congrats to S. Kim Bullock said I didn't believe it possible to love Edward Fairfax Rochester more, but.

I have been in love with Edward Fairfax Rochester since I first read Jane Eyre at age 12.

But his own story has never been told. "Reader, she married me." For 170 years Edward Fairfax Rochester has stood as one of literature's most romantic, most complex, and most mysterious heroes. Mr. On the morning of Edward's eighth birthday, his father issues a decree: He is to be sent away to get an education, exiled from Thornfield and all he ever loved. But much as he longs to be accepted - and to return to the home where he was born - his father has made clear that Thornfield is reserved for his older brother, Rowland, and that Edward's inheritance lies instead on the warm, languid shores of faraway Jamaica. It is impossible not to watch enthralled as this tender-hearted child grows into the tormented hero Brontë immortalized - and as Jane surprises them both by stealing his heart. That island, however, holds secrets of its own, and not long after his arrival, Edward finds himself entangled in morally dubious business dealings and a passionate, whirlwind love affair with the town's ravishing heiress, Antoinetta Bertha Mason. Sometimes haughty, sometimes tender - professing his love for Jane Eyre in one breath and denying it in the next - Mr. Rochester has for generations mesmerized, beguiled, and, yes, baffled fans of Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece. Eventually, after a devastating betrayal, Edward must return to England with his increasingly unstable wife t
