Escaping Mr. Rochester by L. L. McKinney
Jane has no interest in a husband. Eager to make her own way in the world, she accepts the governess position at Thornfield Hall. Though her new employer, Edward Rochester, has a charming air—not to mention a handsome face—Jane discovers that his smile can sharpen in an instant. Plagued by Edward’s mercurial mood and the strange wails that echo through the corridors, she grows suspicious of the secrets hidden within Thornfield Hall—unaware of the true horrors lurking above her very head.
On the topmost floor, Bertha is trapped in more ways than one. After her whirlwind marriage to Edward turned into a nightmare, he locked her away as revenge for withholding her inheritance. Now his patience grows thin in the face of Bertha’s resilience and Jane’s persistent questions, and both young women are in more danger than they realize. When their only chance at safety—and perhaps something more—is in each other’s arms, can they find and keep one another safe before Edward’s dark machinations close in around them?

*The Young at Heart Book Club is the book club formerly known as Guilty Pleasures. Same premise, different branding!*
Are you:
• An adult who enjoys reading Young Adult novels?
• A parent who would like some “me time” to socialize with other adults while discussing a digestible book?
• A parent, guardian, or mentor who wants to keep in touch with what their kids are reading (or even find some recommendations)?
Join us the 2nd Wednesday of each month for the Young at Heart Book Club, where we will meet in a relaxed environment to chat and discuss a different YA book. This is a low-pressure, judgement-free book club where we encourage reading what YOU want.
Books are available at the library and we will try to pick titles available in e-book/audiobook through CloudLibrary.
