Synopsis (from GoodReads):
Seventeen-year-old Stella Ainsley wants just one thing: to go somewhere—anywhere—else.
Her home is a floundering spaceship that offers few prospects, having been orbiting an
ice-encased Earth for two hundred years. When a private ship hires her as a governess,
Stella jumps at the chance. The captain of the Rochester, nineteen-year-old Hugo Fairfax,
is notorious throughout the fleet for being a moody recluse and a drunk.
But with Stella he’s kind.
Rating:5/5 Stars
Well, I didn’t read Jane Eyre but I still loved this book as in read 200 pages the
day I picked it up. Set in a world where our Earth is an ice age and unliveable so,
everyone lives in orbit in space. Stella’s parents died when she was young, left to
live with her Aunt on the empire, who proceeds to then ship her off to the Stalwart.
While there she becomes an engineer like her father as well as a school teacher.
Even though Stella’s best friend George is also on the Stalwart, She wants more for
her life. As she goes for a third round of applications to teach on other ships in orbit,
She is rejected by 2 of them and accepted by a ship that is not well known.
The Rochester to be the governess of the single 10-year old on board.
