[@robertldesigns]

Wonderful!!!

An interesting adaptation for those familiar with the original story but it would be difficult for first time listeners to follow the plot I think. It was an ambitious project trying to squeeze the entire novel into into ninety minutes.

Mysterious magpie has The full radio adaptation of the full novel , it’s BBC 1994 , it fully covers Janes childhood & the cruel aunt & the vile school yet her kind friend who is a very important part of Janes development/ also what her aunt dose is very important as she breaks a dying mans promise

[@EM-lz9kg]

No aunt who betrayed Jane / I guess it’s covering the main part of Rochester & Jane Eyre , still gorgeous feel of Thornfield Hall is a location in the 1847 novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. It is the home of the male romantic lead, Edward Fairfax Rochester, where much of the action takes place.

[@jonharvey4625]

When Rochester asks Jane Eyre to play the piano, she plays Debussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair". This was written in 1909, while Jane Eyre was written in 1847.

Should be Robert Schumann or Felix Mendelssohn !

And that matters because...?

[@jonharvey4625]

@@mikelheron20 It may seem like a minor anachronism, but the whole style of music of Debussy (whole tone scale, lots of modulations etc.) was totally unknown in Jane Austen's era. The piece would have sounded utterly alien to any other piano music to listeners from that era.

Whoops 😬

[@garyteague4480]

Thanks for this

[@elliemccarthy3487]

Why have they left out the important part of her aunt & cousin & why jane was sent to the strict school

90 minutes is 90 minutes

Look at the running time of unabridged audiobooks -- some of them run six hours!
