Big Book Podcast: Jane Eyre / The Eyre Affair

Post Published: February 4, 2022

Revisting Jane Eyre with Jasper Fforde

Reminder: this is a spoiler-filled podcast. So if you’re not into that kind of thing, read the books first and come back later.

Ep.4: "Jane Eyre"

For December we read the 1847 novel by Charlotte Brontë, “Jane Eyre.” Originally published under the pen name Currer Bell, as “Jane Eyre: An Autobiography,” the novel follows the experiences of the eponymous heroine, including her growth into adulthood and love for the brooding Mr. Rochester.

Ep.5: "The Eyre Affair"

The Eyre Affair, by English author Jasper Fforde, was first published in 2001. It takes place in an alternative 1985, where literary detective Thursday Next pursues a master criminal through the world of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel Jane Eyre.

Share your thoughts about this book, or anything else you’re reading, in our GoodReads or Facebook groups, or on twitter using the #BigBookPodcast hashtag.
