With a fresh, feminist sensibility, The Wife Upstairs flips the script on Jane Eyre's timeless tale of a forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who just won’t stay buried. In this vivid reimagining of one of literature’s most twisted love triangles, which Mrs. Rochester will get her happy ending?
A delicious twist on a Gothic classic that pairs Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense.
"Rachel Hawkins delivers a sharp, fresh twist on a classic in this darkly funny, suspenseful story of murder, ambition, and love. Creepy and fast-paced, The Wife Upstairs kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the very last."
-Megan Miranda
