Another sequel of
Jane Eyre this one centred in the Rochester family:
by Elizabeth K. Fong, Ph.D.
ISBN-13 : 978-1665547796
Rochester's Redemption is a narrative description of Edward and Jane Rochester's married life and the lives of their four children, up to Edward Rochester's death. The narration intertwines with 19th century Britain-China Opium wars. Attempts are made to promote understanding of the destruction of opium addiction. Holistic opium rehabilitation is illustrated. Renowned painter Simeon Solomon and playwright Oscar Wilde are high-lighted for the sexual morality of the Victorian age. Jane and Edward Rochester empower their family members in selfless contributions to humanity. Together with their children, the Rochester family members enshrine their lives with the torch of devoted love. The novel, Jane Eyre, is a classic which has engaged readers for many generations, across time, boundaries and countries. Jane is the epitome of a strong woman, self-reliant and compassionate, who overcame her past as a tortured orphan child. Above all, Jane's will decide her destiny. Positive, loving and respecting herself are the characteristics of her personality. Many authors have written sequels to Jane Eyre, but I have found none that narrated Jane and Edward's family story. In my sequel, lovers of Jane Eyre will feel pride in their heroine. They will be able to follow the Rochester family members in their respective ways, and see their achievements and their stumbles as they make their journeys through life.
