a lovely cosy Christmas read, now live, 'Adele Varens,' a sequel to Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre,' which I always found unsettling. In this, Adele is sent to school, but runs away when she is 12, making a life for herself, finding a way to make a fortune, and on the way discovering love when she grows up, moving from a rather exploitative child, doing what she might to survive to learning contentment and happiness, despite every effort of Edward Fairfax Rochester to cause trouble for her.
