The Wife Upstairs
Rachel Hawkins, 2021
A grifter's voice, a gated community, and a rich man whose wife is missing: a Jane Eyre retelling with the charm turned up and the ethics stripped out.
Hawkins taught high-school English in Alabama before writing; The Wife Upstairs was her first adult novel after a run of YA fantasy.
Feels like identity, dread and curiosity.
The difference between wanting a new life and fleeing an old one.
I was looking for something new. I was. Because I was running from something old. Rachel Hawkins, 2021
A grifter's voice, a gated community, and a rich man whose wife is missing: a Jane Eyre retelling with the charm turned up and the ethics stripped out.
