A short story by Evie Wyld from the collection Reader, I Married Him: Stories inspired by Jane Eyre.
In ‘Behind The Mountain’, an English wife struggles with the loneliness of a new life in Canada and finds herself drawn to the town’s outsider.
Edited by Tracy Chevalier, the full collection, Reader, I Married Him, brings together some of the finest and most creative voices in fiction today, to celebrate and salute the strength and lasting relevance of Charlotte Brontë’s game-changing novel and its beloved narrator.
Evie Wyld's short story Behind the Mountain lacks a lot of elements of a short story and left me wanting...There was so much potential though! *sighs heavily in disappointment*
Clever and intriguing. Trapped in a loveless marriage far away from home, vulnerable to her husband's judgmental colleagues. Old Annie quite a character. ***
