Can they help each other vanquish the demons of the past? Or are some evils simply too powerful to conquer?Book John Eyre: A Tale of Darkness and Shadow Review :
Every time I finish a book by Mimi Matthews, I swear her work cannot possibly get any better. But I'm proven wrong time and time again, and this time is no exception. She's in my exalted top five list of favorite historical romance authors. And now she's up there in my top tier of gothic, supernatural and horror writers. Seriously, how does she do it?! John Eyre is a retelling of Charlotte Bronte's classic story Jane Eyre mixed in with another classic story. I don't want to spoil the surprise of that other story here in case you're not aware of it. But it's a doozy!John Eyre leaves his job as a school master in disgrace and heads to Yorkshire, England to tutor two strange young boys at Thornfield Hall. The boys, Stephen and Peter, look like war refugees, and both are mute. Thornfield Hall is an odd place - creepy laughing and noises fill the night, a terrifying wolf roams the moor, and there is an ever-present silvery mist on the property. In the middle of all this is the intriguing and beautiful widow Bertha Mason Rochester. Sixteen months before John arrives, heiress Bertha was traveling to exotic lands, and she met the alluring Edward Rochester and married him. Through letters to a friend and journal entries, she detailed how their life together quickly fell apart; Mr. Rochester was much more than he appeared to be, and it was all terrifying. Now John and Bertha must fight the darkness together and pray they all survive.I admit although I know much about Jane Eyre and the other unnamed classic, I have not read either of those books. Don't judge me! (I can hear you judging me! I'm just not a classics sort of gal). This version is told in a dual timeline, and parts of the story are told through journal entries and letters. And of course, this book is obviously gender flipped. It's a Victorian gothic novel mixed with both horror and supernatural aspects; it sounds weird, but it works! John was a great hero. He left his current position behind and moved to a totally surreal estate where he was to teach two peculiar little boys. Stephen and Peter will break your heart! You can feel the love and caring that John feels for his two charges, and it was wonderful to see them begin to bloom under his care. The burgeoning horror John felt at Thornfield Hall was palpable. Also, he couldn't help but be drawn to the enigmatic Bertha, even though he was her employee. I didn't care for Bertha at all for about a third of the story; however, as I began to discover her past from her writings, she became a much more sympathetic figure, and revealed just how strong a woman she really was. The romantic feelings between John and Bertha were slow to build, though there was immediate attraction. I felt a growing sense of dread as the story came close to its conclusion. I had no idea how things could end happily, or how they could even survive! This is such an amazing story; if you're new to the writings of Ms. Matthews, I'm sure you'll love her work as much as I do...if that's even possible!I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review, all all thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own. Reasonably priced and very competently written by one of my favorite historical romance authors, this gender-flipped Jane Eyre should have appealed to me more than it did. Matthews does a good job of integrating two well-known Victorian classics into one gothic romance/horror story, but, unfortunately, I found the romance bland and uninspired, probably because her character John Eyre is even less interesting than Bronte's original Jane Eyre was.Let's face it. My view of this book starts out from a personal bias about one of the original classics. The heroine of Bronte's JANE EYRE, along with Jane Austen's heroine Fannie of MANSFIELD PARK, have long been two of my least favorite female protagonists. Insipid and mostly spineless (perhaps Jane a bit less so than Fannie) and boring to boot, IMO. But that's just me, probably.However, when you take colorless Jane and just turn her into an even more colorless John, it doesn't bode well for my enjoyment. So the Jane Eyre portion of this book did not thrill me. Mrs. Rochester even turned out to be just as self-centered and aloof as Bronte's Mr. Rochester. What can I say? If you're going to write a take on a classic, maybe improve on it a bit, rather than just doing a gender flip.The saving grace of this book, for me, was our attic-bound Mr. Rochester. His back story, based on another Victorian classic, was more interesting and was integrated nicely into the Bronte classic. If Matthews could have done as good a job of playing around with the gender-flipped Jane Eyre part, I would have given this four stars.As it is, I found the character John Eyre to be too beta and too lacking in personality to be interesting or compelling. The romance between him and Mrs. Rochester was not convincing and it lacked any spark or passion. (Not talking about sex. Matthews doesn't do sex scenes. I'm talking about getting that romantic attraction and the feelings down on paper in their interactions. They weren't there.)
