In this fresh reimagining of Charlotte Brontes classic novel by acclaimed author L. L. McKinney, Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason must save each other from the horrifying machinations of Mr. Rochester in this intrigue-filled, empowering young adult romance.

Jane Eyre has no interest in a husband. Eager to make her own way in the world, she accepts the governess position at Thornfield Hall.

Though her new employer, Edward Rochester, has a charming airnot to mention a handsome faceJane discovers that his smile can sharpen in an instant. Plagued by Edwards mercurial mood and the strange wails that echo through the corridors, Jane grows suspicious of the secrets hidden within Thornfield Hallunaware of the true horrors lurking above her very head.

On the topmost floor, Bertha Mason is trapped in more ways than one. After her whirlwind marriage to Edward turned into a nightmare, he locked her away as revenge for withholding her inheritance. Now his patience grows thin in the face of Berthas resilience and Janes persistent questions, and both young women are in more danger than they realize.

When their only chance at safetyand perhaps something moreis in each others arms, can they find and keep one another safe before Edwards dark machinations close in around them?

Escaping Mr. Rochester Avis

"In the immersive world of McKinneys Thornfield Hall, Jane and Bertha are thoroughly vivid and compelling. A deeply satisfying companion and a highly accessible entry point for a contemporary audience [...] L. L. McKinney breathes new life into a well-worn tale, and the novel's originality shines brightly, yielding surprises for those familiar with Brontes version or not." Booklist (starred review) "Thrilling, compulsively readable novel." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A sinister gothic romance revamped." Kirkus Reviews "A swoonworthy sapphic-tinged YA romance highlighting the beauty of women working together." School Library Journal "Shared narration between Jane and Bertha separates this from its inspiration, allowing Bertha to be a richly developed character, and her growing romantic relationship with Jane provides a lovely ray of light in an otherwise (appropriately) dark story. McKinney successfully deploys Gothic tropes to make Thornfield Hall utterly menacing while maximizing the tension of its oppressive atmosphere."
