Set - Romance and Gothic: Jane Eyre, Lavender and Antique Lace (set of 2 books)

A set combining two unforgettable stories of love, secrets, and the search for one's path: «Lavender and Antique Lace» by Myrtle Reed and «Jane Eyre» by Charlotte Brontë. This set is a real gift for fans of the Gothic novels of the Brontë sisters, the mystical stories of Daphne du Maurier, the warm novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery, and the mysterious atmosphere of Diana Setterfield's books. Here, mystery, tenderness, and hope intertwine, reminding us that miracles happen when we believe in love and fidelity.

«Lavender and Antique Lace.» Miss Ruth Thorn, a reporter for the city newspaper «Herald,» moves to the countryside for six months to take care of her aunt Jane Hathaway's house, as her aunt goes to Europe. The only thing Aunt Jane requested of Ruth in a note, without explaining the reason, was to light the lamp in the eastern window of the attic every evening. The light from the lamp has been burning continuously for five years, and this ritual must be maintained now.
Ruth begins to immerse herself in the life of the quiet countryside, getting to know the mysterious Miss Ainsley and a young man named Karl Windild. Karl was once a reporter at the «Herald» newspaper, where Ruth works, but due to vision problems, he cannot work temporarily and has been advised by an ophthalmologist to rest for six months, prompting the editor-in-chief to suggest he follow Ruth.
Feelings gradually develop between Ruth and Karl, and soon they plan a future together. However, the return of Aunt Jane with her new husband changes the usual course of events, and Ruth temporarily moves in with Miss Ainsley. Thus, a couple more months of peaceful life pass. Karl and Ruth plan a quick wedding. But one day, Miss Ainsley gets out of bed in a very different mood than usual and reveals her secret to Ruth and why the lamp was needed in Aunt Jane's house.
