The Flight of Gemma Hardy is a decent read. It was not what I expected when I picked it up at the library. This actually is a piece of fan fiction, a retelling of Jane Eyre set in Scotland in the 1940's. Livesey retells it well, and gives a little more depth to Gemma as a child. I was not really into the story but I think it was more my moodiness because I wasn't looking for fan fiction at the time I picked it up. I do think Livesey writes well, and reinterpreted Jane Eyre decently so this was not a total loss
