Loosely following the plot of Jane Eyre and the life of its creator Charlotte Bronte, the novel takes some very divergent paths, which I enjoyed for the most part. While My Plain Jane is definitely darker than My Lady Jane, it still has all the markings of this series: humour, ridiculousness, paranormal creatures, loveable characters, and top-notch writing. If you loved the first book in The Lady Janies series, you will undoubtedly love the second, My Plain Jane. Like it’s predecessor, My Plain Jane follows a Jane in British history – this time in British literature – and seeks to give her a happy ending. “ This brings us to the real start of our story: northern England, 1834, and the aforementioned penniless, orphaned girl. Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Brontë, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights. Despite their significant age gap (!) and his uneven temper (!!), they fall in love-and, Reader, she marries him. ![]() ![]() After a miserable childhood, penniless orphan Jane Eyre embarks on a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall. ![]()
