Cover story
Following in the footsteps of a legendary heroine
Loosely based on Charlotte Brontë’s beloved classic Jane Eyre, the newest gem from acclaimed novelist Margot Livesey follows the trials of a determined young orphan as she searches to find her place in the world.
The Flight of Gemma Hardy is every bit as enchanting as Livesey’s previous novels . . .
