READER, I MARRIED HIM Stories Inspired by Jane Eyre

The first line of the last chapter of JANE EYRE is one of the most famous lines of Western literature. In honor of this famous line and this beloved book, author Tracy Chevalier has asked a number of fabulous female authors to write short stories inspired by Charlotte Brontë's seminal novel. Narrator Laura Kirman is given the daunting task of making each story distinct and just as full of emotion as the one before it, and she performs admirably. A bit of music between the stories would make differentiating between them easier, but Kirman's talent means that every story is given its due, thus honoring not only the stories but their source as well.
