From my viewpoint, it’s a very loose retelling.

I didn’t experience typical southern charm in the book (southern, yes charm, no) and if you pick it up with charm in mind, you might be disappointed. Genre/categories Description:s The Wife Upstairs is described as a twisty retelling of Jane Eyre with southern charm. Their insta attraction is complicated because Jane is running from her past and Eddie has secrets of his own. One day while walking through the estates, she meets Eddie Rochester, a rich widower, whose wife recently died in a boating accident. She supplements her income by stealing jewelry and other small items from her clients.

After a brief stint in a coffee shop, she becomes a dog walker in the upscale, gated community of Thornfield Estates. Plain but street smart Jane has aged out of the foster care system and is struggling to make it on her own in a small suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. All opinions are my own.Ī twisty, slow-burn, domestic suspense story inspired by Jane Eyre.
