Seventeen-year-old
Stella Ainsley wants just one thing: to go somewhere—anywhere—else. Her
home is a floundering spaceship that offers few prospects, having been
orbiting an ice-encased Earth for two hundred years. When a private ship
hires her as a governess, Stella jumps at the chance. The captain of
the Rochester, nineteen-year-old Hugo Fairfax, is notorious
throughout the fleet for being a moody recluse and a drunk. But with
Stella he’s kind.
But the Rochester harbors secrets:
Stella is certain someone is trying to kill Hugo, and the more she
discovers, the more questions she has about his role in a conspiracy
threatening the fleet.
Opening line:
"The gravity stabilizers were failing again."
Jane Eyre among the stars. I loved the retelling. Obviously, it's going to be different than the original Jane Eyre. I liked some of the differences. There was an interesting twist toward the end.
