Thornfield Hall: Jane Eyre's Hidden Story - Softcover
Adele, the daughter of a celebrated Parisian actress, is a homesick, forlorn eight-year-old when first brought to Thornfield Hall by Edward Fairfax Rochester, her mother's former lover. Lonely and ill at ease in the unfamiliar English countryside, she longs to return to the glitter of Paris . . . and to the mother who has been lost to her.
But a small ray of sunshine brightens her eternal gloom when a stranger arrives to care for her--a serious yet intensely loving young governess named Jane Eyre--even as young Adele's curiosity leads her deeper into the shadowy manor, toward the dark and terrible secret that is locked away in a high garret. . . .
Includes fascinating in-depth background material about Charlotte Bronte and the Jane Eyre legacy

I heard from Antonia Fraser (historian, author of Marie Antoinette amongst others): 'I loved ADELE. It's a tremendously good read and beautifully researched - I'm sure it'll do very well both sides of the Atlantic.'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A rich novel that stands on its own, Adele adds a breathtaking new dimension to Charlotte Brontes beloved tale. Emma Tennant vividly unfolds the blossoming relationship and consequent marriage of the shy governess Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester, as witnessed by Rochesters ward, Adele. Set in the foreground is the compelling story of the young French girl herself as she grows into womanhood. The daughter of celebrated Parisian actress Celine Varens, Adele describes her childhood in Paris and England and her discovery of Thornfield Halls terrible secret. Driven by unhappiness and the desire to find her mother, Adele eventually runs away to Paris, where she obsessively searches for Celine. Yet Paris reveals only further secrets, some hurtful and baffling to the young girl. While Adele learns to master the arts of the circus and grows in self-confidence and understanding of her mothers choices, Mr. Rochester struggles to find the daughter he has neglected and lost, and a moving reconciliation brings Adele back to Thornfield and a future with her beloved Jane. Poignant and evocative, Adele is a magnificent read no Jane Eyre fan should miss. "A hardcover edition of this book was published in 2002 as Adaele by William Morrow"--Copyright page. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780061239885
