"The Rochesters are very good at keeping secrets...Thornfield Hall, 1821.
Alice Fairfax takes up her role as housekeeper of the estate.
But when Mr Rochester presents her with a woman who is to be hidden on the third floor, she finds herself responsible for much more than the house.
This is the story Jane Eyre never knew - a narrative played out on the third floor and beneath the stairs, as the servants kept their master's secret safe and sound."
