    Summary

    Inspired by The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins. This is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre in which Bertha has a degenerative illness and is in a nursing home—meaning it’s easier for Rochester to keep her existence a secret from Jane because Bertha does not live in his house. I feel okay about revealing this detail because nearly everyone knows about Bertha by now, even though her existence is supposed to be a plot twist.

    The title of this story references what Jane says to Mr Rochester about Bertha in Jane Eyre: “You speak of her with hate...It is cruel; she cannot help being mad.”

    This fan fiction is somewhat faithful to the original story, though set much more recently; it has many of the same plot points. However, some plot points are changed to reflect modern sensibilities. For example, in the very first chapter, Jane’s uncle rather than her aunt is depicted as abusive, because I believe it is misogynistic to portray a woman this way.

    As she moves through the gilded cage of King’s Landing, Sansa is trailed by Sandor Clegane - prickly, unknowable - the space between them held taut by the memory of the Blackwater.

    It is easy enough to choose Sandor over a monster. But what happens when the alternative offers you a life that is, seemingly, perfect?

    Or: A ‘jealous Sandor’ fic that turned into quite a bit more.
