    5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh Revisit to a Beloved Classic
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    It takes a huge amount of courage and dedication to take on writing a sequel to a beloved classic. To do it well, the author must know, without any doubt, the characters and their motives. Luccia Gray knows Jane Eyre and the people in her life as if she were living among them.

    I always saw Jane Eyre as a girl who suffered through a cold, hard life but managed to find advantages in her circumstances that permitted her to succeed. I did not see her at all as a spineless jellyfish, but a young woman who braved each new situation with resolve and resilience. Her decisions and commitments were born out of a desire to improve herself and to love with complete abandon. Her relationship with Mr. Rochester provided for both. As an orphan myself, Jane Eyre is a character dear to my heart.

    In Jane Eyre I had issue with Mr. Rochester’s past when he first took on his relationship with Jane. The way he frolicked with the Ingram girl, others, and the deplorable manner in which he managed his first wife caused me much disrespect for the man. I have often felt those who suffered mental illness in eras past had the cruelest existence imaginable. In All Hallows at Eyre Hall, Ms. Gray empathized through Jane all of my feelings about Bertha, her life, and what I had supposed about her. My suspicions about Mr. Rochester were brought out of the shadows and into the light with each word and I felt Jane Eyre had been somewhat venerated.

    With Rochester on his deathbed, Jane assumes a leadership role with real decisiveness and strength of character. Strong and clever enough to manage a huge estate, yet merciful and compassionate enough to find forgiveness, Jane does not wrongfully hold others responsible for Rochester’s misdeeds. Jane’s recent past comes to life with all of its joy and sorrow. The relationships she develops are true to her original character and I believe Charlotte Bronte would enjoy this book. The emotions expressed are nearly tangible, as always, love is blind. Luccia Gray also managed to capture a perfect sense of place and time on the moors of old England and in the sprawling manor home, in the clothes and behaviors of the cast.

    Initially the first person multiple points of view threw me, but Gray makes it easy to note who is doing the thinking and talking by her distinct voices for each character and a quick reference with each change. I enjoyed this book immensely and am eager to read the next book in the planned trilogy. There are new people and anticipated new places in Jane Eyre’s life. While All Hallows at Eyre Hall answered many questions that remained with the reading of Jane Eyre, the author also leaves us sitting on the edge of our seats anxiously waiting the unfolding of the rest of the story.

    I usually prefer true-stories or modern novels that feel like a reality, yet the great quality cover of this book grabbed my attention and I decided to read something out of my genre. The author Luccia Gray has done a good job with re-creating the story of Jane Eyre. All Hallows at Eyre Hall would be a pleasant read for those who especially enjoy classic reading, where world rotates with special charms and emotional glory. In general, this book is a wonderful travel mashine into 19th century life and love intrigues!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Jane Eyre I Remember
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I never imagined that Jane's life would take such a turn or that her character could change so much over the years. I spent most of the book trying to reconcile Bronte's Jane and Gray's Jane. Sadly, I never managed it. She did better with Adele; I could easily see the child Bronte created becoming the woman that Gray portrayed. I was disappointed in the direction Gray took Rochester, but didn't find it unrealistic.

    While reasonably well written, the book seemed to me to be awkward and difficult to read. The plot is interesting and kept me flipping the pages, but I would have enjoyed the book more if Gray had created her own characters. However, the characters are numerous and all seem to speak with one voice. This makes it hard to keep the many narrators straight; fortunately, at each change of narrator, the new speaker is clearly identified. The book also can't stand on its own; it ends with a cliff hanger that I presume will be resolved in the second volume.

    5.0 out of 5 stars And I didn't like the original
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I must be honest and tell you that I am always suspicious of books that are a spin off from a classic read. This time, however, I was completely in the wrong. All Hallows at Eyre Hall kept me tightly bound to my reading of it and constantly entertained with its twists and turns.
    I was never a great fan of the original Jane Eyre. I thought she was wimpy and colorless and Edward Rochester pusillanimous. Now, more than twenty years later, Jane has a backbone and Edward is still spineless, whining, and morally corrupt. But now Jane is fully cognizant of his failings and no longer loves him. The book begins with Edward on his deathbed and I thought, At last, Jane is free and can live her own life. Richard Mason returns, brother of Bertha, Edward’s first, mad wife, who lived locked on the top floor of Thornfield Hall - the same man who interrupted Jane’s first wedding ceremony by claiming bigamy because his sister was still living. With him comes an evil that threatens to destroy everything Jane holds dear – her sanity, her family and Eyre Hall. The venal Richard tries again to insinuate himself into the Rochester estate and its money by bringing with him to Eyre Hall a young girl, whom he claims is the offspring of Edward and Bertha. He also plants a mole at the Hall to spy for him.
    During this period, Jane once again falls deeply and inappropriately in love, but this time with a much younger man, whose status as staff at the Hall creates a love story with unexpected twists and turns. There is a lot more to this love story, but I don’t want to be a spoiler.
    What Richard demands to keep both Annette’s lineage and Jane’s love a secret aroused murderous feelings in this reader. There are also new revelations of extent of Edward’s depravity, creating more impossible stressors in Jane’s life. Jane’s response to these threats to her future and to that of her son John (who has an immediate and innocent attraction to the Annette), is planned out with her usual practicality, but will it work? Will she be strong enough to go through with her plan? The reader will need to get the next volume in this trilogy, out this fall.
    I found the characters in All Hallows at Eyre Hall richly drawn, and the descriptions that maintain the period of the piece well researched and in perfect continuity to the original book. Whether you liked or disliked the original Jane Eyre, you will find this sequel alternately engaging, surprising and impossible to put down.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Revival of a classic
    Reviewed in Spain on October 7, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I have greatly enjoyed reading the first novel All Hallows at Eyre Hall in The Eyre Hall Trilogy written by Luccia Gray. Although I didn’t like Jane Eyre, when I read it many years ago, I found this novel awakened my interest in the characters and plot of the original novel.
    What I have most liked has been the fresh, natural and abundant fluency of the dialogues and conversations among the different characters of the novel.
    In general, the use of language, not only in dialogues but also in descriptions and narrations, has seemed to me really excellent. In the dialogues, the language is quite appropriate and adapted to each character in each situation. The author shows a tremendous mastery of the use of language not only employing popular and common expressions for different situations but also she commands an extremely high degree or style of expression, having quite an extensive range of vocabulary.
    As far as the plot is concerned I think it has been very well thought out from the very beginning, and well developed along the story, and it creates a great expectation of what is going to happen in the second and third following books as the novel is part of a trilogy.
    Of all the literary means the author has at her disposal she always uses the first person singular in describing and narrating the situations affecting the different characters. I think it is quite good to use this literary mechanism because it gives to the story more conviction, more reality and as well as portraying feelings and emotions in a more personal way. Also it helps the reader keep an open eye, to know who is speaking at every moment, making the reader be more active and cooperative.
    I think the different approaches concerning the intimate relationship between Jane & Michael, the two main characters, have been designed exclusively from an excessively feminist point of view. Perhaps the great distance in age as in, above all, social positions make real love very difficult to appear and to be supported.
    Although I was bewitched by the tenderness of the previous love scenes, the game of all the ‘may I’s’, nevertheless, I think something is missing in their relationship: passion.
    At first sight, I felt disappointed at the end of this first book, but after some thoughts I think that probably it is a provocative ending for the reader who must wait impatiently for the continuation of the story.
    Anyway, it has been an enormous pleasure to read this debut novel, and I’m looking forward to the following novels.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Luccia Gray has penned a stunner
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I would normally shy away from fan fiction which has disappointed more often than not (witness the pathetic attempts with James Bond by some terrific authors, though, tbf, Faulks succeeded with Wooster). I picked All Hallows because I have been following the author's blog and I'm so glad I did. I wasn't sure on page one - that seems a little stitled; by page three I was hooked. It is ages since I read the original and I'm not certain if the point of view technique Luccia uses is the same as the original but it works, with some neat switches, mid chapter. I did wonder if, at times, it would catch me out - and yes it did but not for more than a paragraph and not so as to irritate or annoy. The language is comfortingly of its time without dragging; the revelations are neatly done and the author doesn't assume we know the back story but equally doesn't labour over revealing it. What the author does well is to set up her character's old and new, sometimes suggesting they might be rather two dimensional and then surprises us by adding depth and motivations that are intriguing as well as well placed and paced. I cannot speak for those who are diehard fans - there maybe assumptions made that those who know the original would take issue with. But for an occasional fan and someone who loves 19th century literature, I enjoyed this and so I hope will you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A new Jayne Eyre
    Reviewed in Spain on June 4, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    My husband bought me this book because he knows I love Jane Eyre. I didn’t really know what to expect as a sequel, and I was surprised at first, and impressed as I continued reading. Over 20 years have passed since Jane’s marriage to Rochester, and sinister Mason, (Bertha’s brother who unexpectedly turned up in church and ruined their first marriage attempt in J.E.) turns up again foreshadowing difficult times for Jane. I was drawn into the story right from the beginning, and the twists and turns kept me on edge right to the unexpected ending.

    Some of the original characters are there, with new roles, and Jane herself has matured to become the head of the family and estate because of her husband’s illness, but she is having a very hard time, due to the circumstances and traumatic secrets she discovers. I loved the intriguing Annette Mason, Bertha’s secret daughter, and John Rochester, Jane’s son. It was sad to discover another darker Rochester, but perhaps he was really there all the time.

    I liked the way there were different narrators, so everyone gets their point of view across, and it’s easier to sympathize and understand their motivations. Overall, I feel I’ve been given a new Jane Eyre. She’s more imperfect, but I like the way she’s developed, and I’m looking forward to part II! I’d definitely recommend it, whether you’ve read Jane Eyre or not.

    4.0 out of 5 stars What Might Have Happened to Jane and Rochester...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    A follow on from Jane Eyre is not an easy undertaking - for me personally, it's my favourite book of all time so I was interested to read how Luccia Gray would deal with it. Very well as it turns out - from the outset we are reminded of the story but 'info dumps' are cleverly avoided. What's also clever is the myriad use of characters to tell the continuing story, we get an insight into people from the original book as well as a band of new additions. In fact,t I often found these 'insights' stronger than Jane's, but then Jane is not an easy woman to capture! Twisting and turning, the story takes you in surprising directions - again, I like this as it's not a case of Jane and Rochester living 'happily ever after', far from it. And therein lies the conflict - if you want Jane and Rochester to live happily to the end of their days (which I confess I do!) then this book might disappoint, however, if you want a whole new world to develop at Eyre Hall (AKA the re-built Thornfield) then read on and enjoy every scandalous minute!
