Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Do you like classic Victorian novels, The Gilmore Girls, and attics? If so, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Our guest is Rachel Foss, host of Gilmore Girls podcast Welcome to Stars Hollow, and her book of choice is the one and only Jane Eyre. You're in for a whole lot of laughter, a poignant tale of finding just the right book at just the right time, and, of course, some shouting at the patriarchy.

Customer Reviews
Bookworm heaven
Witty, eloquent and insightful - Allison, Becky and their guests somehow manage to explain my own thoughts and opinions on the books in a more articulate manner than I could ever achieve. It’s definitely inspired me to read more, re-read old favourites and think about them from a different perspective. With an incredible array of books and genres already covered, I can’t wait to see (hear) what’s next...!
New favourite podcast
An informative and intelligent podcast with a personal edge. It will make you fall in love with reading, or fall in love with reading all over again if its been a while since you've sat down with a good book! Wonderful to hear about the books that moved people and changed their lives and why, from two funny, entertaining, brilliant hosts!
Love it
A book club in yours ears ❤️
