The Rochesters are very good at keeping secrets . . .

Thornfield Hall, 1821. Alice Fairfax takes up her role as housekeeper of the estate. But when Mr Rochester presents her with a woman who is to be hidden on the third floor, she finds herself responsible for much more than the house. This is the story Jane Eyre never knew—a narrative played out on the third floor and beneath the stairs, as the servants kept their master's secret safe and sound.

Recensione:

Jane Eyre retold from the point of view of the servants is the brilliant premise of Thornfield Hall. The perfect read to curl up with. --Good Housekeeping
A richly detailed imagining of the secretive below-stairs life of the characters in Bront� s classic. Stubbs has done a wonderful job of adding her own stamp to a well-known and much-loved tale... A lively and exciting read that ll keep you turning the pages well into the small hours. --Heat
The intersecting lives of the housekeeper and her fragile charge make for an interesting study of women's vulnerability in the period and also their resourcefulness... With nuanced characterisation, intelligent plotting and respect for the original, this reimagining casts an inquisitive "what if" eye on one of 19th-century literature's most intriguing characters. --The Lady
Thoroughly enjoyable --Independent
There is drama and humour throughout this cleverly constructed novel; and warm friendships and romantic liaisons intermingle with suspicions, cruelty and menace. The characterisations are beautifully woven and it s great fun to see the real Bertha Mason emerge like a phoenix out of the ashes. --Readers Digest
