Mrs. Rochester: A Sequel to Jane Eyre

On the death of her husband, Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre accepts an invitation from her cousin, Diana Fitzjames, to visit her on Oblivion Island near Glasstown, a town not unlike colonial Auckland. Relishing the freedom and natural beauty of her new home, Jane is soon involved in new dramas. For Jane, however, love is to be found in an unexpected quarter, but only after misunderstanding, scandal and tragedy. Mrs. Rochester is an excellent example of the classic sequel. With a superb cast of characters, Warwick Blanchett has breathed new life into one of literature's best-loved figures.
