Salt & Broom

Despite the use of familiar character names, Salt & Broom doesn't follow the classic [b:Jane Eyre 10210 Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557343311l/10210.SY75.jpg 2977639] plotline enough to feel like a true retelling. It works moderately well as a generic historical paranormal romance; this Jane is a witch who is hired by Rochester to rid Thornfield of mysterious malevolent entities. But their limited interactions aren't enough to convince me of their undying love, and the plot goes completely off the rails by the end (Jane's mother is revealed to be a dryad fairy disguised as a white cat; her father is Lowood's superintendent Mr. Brocklehurst, who behaved uncharacteristically horny when drunk one night). YMMV if you don't care about fidelity to the original, and don't mind that the demure, humble Jane Eyre is now an ass-kicking, spell-wielding sorceress.
