5/22/2023 0 Comments Jane by April LindnerThe book is for the texting, gum-chewing, iPod demographic, yet still holds an appeal for an audience familiar with the original. Her take falls more in line with Clueless as an homage to Austen's Emma and Easy A representing Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. While literary purists might not appreciate a pop culture retelling, Lindner's love for Bronte's immortal heroine is apparent in this teen-friendly edition. Lindner admits that the premise for Jane is based on her fascination with Bruce Springsteen as well as the numerous modern versions of Jane Austen's works such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Re-imagined for 2010, the action shifts to America where a college student turned nanny is hired by an agency for a rock n' roll celebrity client. The Boss meets Bronte in April Lindner's remake of the classic Victorian novel, Jane Eyre.
