Jane Eyre was written in 1847 and is the story of orphaned unloved Jane, self-described as “poor, plain, and little.” The novel, told in the passionate first person voice of Jane herself, chronicles the narrator’s life from age 10 through adulthood. Molly: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte & Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. A perfect lead-in to our summer edition of National Novel Writing Month this July! Summer always puts me in creative-mode, and Stephen King’s classic memoir is full of both writing advice and hilarious life stories. If you want a rollicking good read without even realizing you’re also getting a bit of a history lesson (the beginnings of speculative trading, anyone?), you won’t be able to get enough of this series. Weaver (a Jew among Christians, adding yet another layer of interest to the story) becomes entangled in the world of finance and scandal leading up to the world’s first stock-market crash, brought about by speculation in the South Sea Company’s stock. This well-researched historical thriller launches the Benjamin Weaver series, in which a boxer-turned-private investigator travels through the seedy underworld of eighteenth-century London in pursuit of thieves and debtors. Come talk about it with us on July 3 at 6:45 pm at the Chatham Community Library!ĭana: A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss
