Philippa Gregory on Jane Eyre

from The Essay Hosted by BBC Radio 3

Five leading writers pick a novel they love and then write an original piece of fiction imagining what happened to the characters after the story ends. When she first encountered Jane Eyre in the classroom, Philippa Gregory was looking for a love story - between Jane Eyre and the brooding Mr Rochester. Years later, she reads the book very differently. Join Philippa as she explores the nuances within Charlotte Brontë's classic and writes an original scene, a new ending, for the book. Producer: Camellia Sinclair
