A bohemian wedding party takes an unexpected turn for the bride and her daughter; a family trip to a Texan waterpark prompts a life-changing decision; Grace Poole defends Bertha Mason and calls the general opinion of Jane Eyre into question. A woman encounters an old lover and inexplicably tells an awful lie; Mr Rochester reveals a long-kept secret, and a fitness instructor teaches teenage boys how to handle a pit bull terrier by telling them Jane's story. Edited by Tracy Chevalier, this collection brings together some of the finest and most creative voices in fiction.
