Picked by Tom - September 22nd 2021 Meeting
In a modern and twisty retelling of Jane Eyre, a young woman must question everything she thinks she knows about love, loyalty, and murder.
Jane has lost everything: job, mother, relationship, even her home. A friend calls to offer an unusual deal—a cottage above the crashing surf of Big Sur on the estate of his employer, Evan Rochester. In return, Jane will tutor his teenage daughter. She accepts.
But nothing is quite as it seems at the Rochester estate. Though he’s been accused of murdering his glamorous and troubled wife, Evan Rochester insists she drowned herself. Jane is skeptical, but she still finds herself falling for the brilliant and secretive entrepreneur and growing close to his daughter.
And
yet her deepening feelings for Evan can’t disguise dark suspicions
aroused when a ghostly presence repeatedly appears in the night’s mist
and fog. Jane embarks on an intense search for answers and uncovers
evidence that soon puts Evan’s innocence into question. She’s determined
to discover what really happened that fateful night, but what will the
truth cost her?
