Have you ever wondered what happened after Jane found Mr Rochester, blinded and crippled by the fire that destroyed Thornfield Hall? After the death of his wife freed him to marry his young love, and the destruction of his home and estate forced the two of them to start life anew? Hilary Bailey answers these questions and brings in a plot of her own with this sequel to the Bronte classic. She builds a new world for the new Mrs Rochester, centred on her husband, whose sight is slowly healing and whose attitude is forever changed by being happy in love, and her young son, the joy of both his parents. For ten years after Thornfield Hall and all it stood for crumbled, Jane and Mr Rochester live in wedded bliss, spending their days in an idyllic family unit at the small manor of Ferndean. But when Mr Rochester decides to rebuild Thornfield Hall, Jane fears the ghosts that might be brought back with it, and her fears are not unfounded. Mrs Rochester rewrites Jane's 'Happily Ever After' as a twisted tale of interrupted bliss, haunting pasts, and frightening vendettas that follow the Rochesters to their newly rebuilt home. Old wounds are re-opened, grudges once thought buried resurface, and accusations abound, resulting in a mysterious, fast-paced re-imagining of a timeless favourite.

For 60 years, Fletcher Steele practised landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly 700 gardens. Often brilliant, always original, Steele's work is considered by many as a link between 19th century beaux arts formalism & modern landscape design.

Rochester's Redemption is a narrative description of Edward and Jane Rochester’s married life and the lives of their four children, up to Edward Rochester's death. The narration intertwines with 19th century Britain-China Opium wars. Attempts are made to promote understanding of the destruction of opium addiction. Holistic opium rehabilitation is illustrated. Renowned painter Simeon Solomon and playwright Oscar Wilde are high-lighted for the sexual morality of the Victorian age. Jane and Edward Rochester empower their family members in selfless contributions to humanity. Together with their children, the Rochester family members enshrine their lives with the torch of devoted love. The novel, Jane Eyre, is a classic which has engaged readers for many generations, across time, boundaries and countries. Jane is the epitome of a strong woman, self-reliant and compassionate, who overcame her past as a tortured orphan child. Above all, Jane's will decide her destiny. Positive, loving and respecting herself are the characteristics of her personality. Many authors have written sequels to Jane Eyre, but I have found none that narrated Jane and Edward's family story. In my sequel, lovers of Jane Eyre will feel pride in their heroine. They will be able to follow the Rochester family members in their respective ways, and see their achievements and their stumbles as they make their journeys through life.
