Ladies of NerditudeEpisode 203- Vengeance is HersReader, Adele Varens has had enough. Honestly, given the events of "Jane Eyre" and the time period she's living in, can you blame her? Author Betsy Cornwell rights a considerable literary wrong: the romanticizing of Mr. Edward Rochester. A story of vengeance, class, nationalism, lies, and the struggle for women to find their own independence in a time and place where that was nearly impossible, "Reader, I Murdered Him" delivers a heroic Villainess we can all get behind. *SPOILERS* for Jane Eyre and Cornwell's book
