The novel begins when she returns from her eight-year exile. 1966: Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. The character, Bertha Mason, serves as the main protagonist for this novel which acts as a "prequel" to Jane Eyre. It describes the meeting and marriage of Antoinette (later renamed Bertha by Mr Rochester) and Mr Rochester.

Bennett, content explores the first years of the Rochester's marriage with gothic and explicit content. A fan favorite. 2001 novel The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde revolves around the plot of Jane Eyre. It portrays the book as originally largely free of literary contrivance: Jane and Mr Rochester's first meeting is a simple conversation without the dramatic horse accident, and Jane does not hear his voice calling for her and ends up starting a new life in India. The title heroine's efforts mostly accidentally change it to the real version. 2002: Jenna Starborn by Sharon Shinn, a science fiction novel based upon Jane Eyre 2006: The French Dancer's Bastard: The Story of Adele From Jane Eyre by Emma Tennant.
