"Ever since that authorship seminar in college, I love a book that tampers with an older work. You could call it self-conscious writing, you could call it tribute, you could call it parody... but it's a nice way of reinvigorating or reexamining an old classic. The author here draws us into the mystery we already know about slowly, drawing out the suspense. I'd like to read more by her."
"The movie didn't have much going for it but the book was much better, although not that much better. And interesting look into the life of a servant, where she would come from, what she would have in the way of money or family and how she would be treated by society."
