The Wife Upstairs - Review

Modern retelling of Bronte classic Jane Eyre. 
Jane is a 23 year old woman running from her past - foster homes,  neglect,  vigilance.  
She moves to Birmingham, renting a room from John - a kid she met in care. 
Jane is a dog walker in a neighborhood dripping with money, looking for her next step up. In walks Eddie Rochester. Wealthy widower, sexy, down to earth - but Jane doesn't know his wife is still alive. And is locked upstairs.  
This novel is an intriguing spin on a beloved classic - I loved it. The drama. Neighborhood snotty women. Jane's attempt to recreate herself, gain wealth and status. 
Highly recommend.
