Reader, I Murdered Him Hardcover by Betsy Cornwell

In this enticing YA novel, vengeance is perfectly paired with empowerment. Adele grows from being the daughter of a French dancer to Mr. Rochester's English daughter and Jane Eyre's delighted student to an abandoned boarding school girl with dear friends and, finally, to a villainess. Throughout it all, Cornwell's clear and captivating prose compels readers through this tale of love, family, betrayal, abuse, and murder swiftly, leaving them clutching the pages for just one more ounce of the story. Whether or not you have read Jane Eyre, you will learn to be on the lookout and care for "attic girls" in all stories, including true ones. Gripping and, at times, romantic, Reader, I Murdered Him is an enthralling read.
