Amrita by the Book | Jane Eyre and Friends: What to Read in Quarantine Ep. 3 @AmritabytheBook | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Today's book recommendation is Jane Eyre - and all the books she's inspired. Sometimes the definition of a series can be quite broad, allowing you to discover some gems that might have passed you by. Take a look at Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and then travel from Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca to Victoria Holt's Mistress of Mellyn to Mary Stewart's Nine Coaches Waiting.
