For Jane Re, half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place she's been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncle's grocery store. Desperate to leave, she's thrilled to become the au pair for the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn professors and their adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food co-ops and nineteenth-century novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth Mazer's feminist lectures and Ed Farley's very male attention. But when a family death in Seoul interrupts the promise of a new life, Jane must reconcile her desire for love and belonging with the mystery of her Korean past.
A fresh, contemporary retelling of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Re Jane is a bright, comic story of New York in the new millennium - a novel about falling in love, finding strength, and living not just out of obligation to others, but for one's self.
