Becoming Jane Eyre

Kohler writes this novel much in a way that complements the language and dynamic of the authors she herself focuses in on. Having read and loved <i>Jane Eyre</i>, it was interesting to see Kohler's take on how Charlotte Brontë and her life's experiences filtered into the title character and her companions. The author also goes into great detail, although I didn't quite enjoy the first part and the details regarding the Brontë father's time recovering from eye surgery.

Overall, this isn't so much a novel with an intricate plot with extreme character development, but rather a vignette of sorts - a look into what the life of the Brontë sisters very well may have been like, and in particular into the life of Charlotte.
