"Mr Rochester had seeped into my soul as easily as if I had prepared a place for him there."Sophie knew Mr Rochester long before Jane (the governess) came to Thornfield Hall. She knew him very well indeed. When Mr Rochester takes on the responsibility of a little French girl, he asks Sophie, her nursemaid, to leave Paris and return with them to England. With nothing left in Paris to cling to, and with a genuine devotion to the child, Sophie agrees to sail to England and join the master's household. Little does she know that the bleak and haunted mansion is no place for a young woman, even one as vibrant as she, with so many questions and a few secrets of her own. And as she gazes out on the desolate yet beautiful moors of Yorkshire, her sanity will be tested, her flesh tempted, and her heart forever changed.It's time for Sophie to step out of the shadows and tell her story.
