![]() My favorite bits were the well-known quotes from the classic novel, modified and spiced up with modern curse words - absolutely delightful! I also enjoyed the self-referential bits, as when Jane finds herself “creeping around the upstairs like I’m in a gothic novel or a bad horror movie.” It is by no means a perfect book or an enduring classic, but that’s okay - I think it does what it intends to do: entertains in its own right while hearkening back to the original. But with all the plot twists and turns, I just could not bear to put it down! Fast forward to Sunday evening, and I had devoured it - definitely one of my fastest finishing-a-book times in the past few years, as a mom of young children. ![]() I came across “ The Wife Upstairs” as a suggestion from Overdrive on a Friday evening, and although I wouldn’t normally gravitate towards a thriller, I also cannot resist anything “ Jane Eyre” related, so I decided to give it a chance. ![]()
