My favorite book of all time, ever, and for the rest of time is
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. And I've finally found a group of like-minded ladies who plan to celebrate the wonders of Jane and Mr. Rochester through blogging and creating and reading and watching the movie and just embodying the Jane Eyre mystique. I've read the book probably 15 times, and have seen 4 or 5 versions of the movie (the best being the most recent
Masterpiece Theatre version from 2006.)
Melissa Averinos of
Yummy Goods in West Barnstable and her friend
Beth Dunn, along with a group of ardent
Jane Eyre and Bronte fans, are starting a new online group called
Bronte Along. It looks like a lot of fun, without any of the pressure of a regular book group. Dreaming, movie watching, creativity, and swooning are encouraged. I plan to take some photographs that evoke the Jane Eyre vibe -- not sure how I'm going to manifest that here on Cape Cod, but that's the challenge, right? So join in, read along, get out the hankies, and dream of going back to Thornfield Hall.
