Philippa Gregory on Jane Eyre
Philippa Gregory once thought Jane Eyre was a love story between Jane and Mr Rochester, but she doesn't read it that way now. Join Philippa as she writes a new end for the classic.
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 Bront毛's classic and writes an original scene, a new ending, for the book.
