Born not in a past of corsets and bonnets but into a future of cloning and bioterror, could Jane Eyre survive? This Jane is an “unclaimed embryo,” the living mistake of a reproductive rights center–or so her foster family tells her. At age ten she is sold into slavery as a data mule, and she must fight for freedom and identity in a world mired between bioscientific progress and the religions that fear it. What will happen to a girl without even a name of her own?
Unclaimed The Memoirs of Jane E Friendless Orphan Book 1 edition by Erin McCole Cupp Children eBooks
After I finished Jane Eyre for the first time in January, I thought what better time than now to finally read Unclaimed? It had been sitting in my Kindle queue since its release last summer, but I wanted to wait until after I'd read the original story before diving into a retelling.Unclaimed introduces us to Jane E, an unclaimed embryo being raised as a foster child by the VanDeer family. Mrs. VanDeer is fairly wealthy and her three biological children receive the best she can afford, but she loathes Jane and supplies her with only the bare minimum. After Jane snaps under the abuse of her foster siblings and fights back, Mrs. VanDeer essentially sells her to the Naomi Foundation, a mysterious organization located in India, where she becomes a data mule.
The world in which Jane E lives is a scary one. Certain religions are outlawed and special interest groups seem to rule the world, with most incomes, healthcare services, and other benefits of society come only with belonging to an INGO. Everything from purchasing power to the ability to enter buildings depends on having the right identification. Bioethics seems to have disappeared completely as human cloning, frivolous genetic re-keying, and suicide-on-demand services are considered banal. We don't see much of a dictatorial government, although we feel the weight of uncertainty and mistrust as Jane navigates the world around her. Much like the Victorian Era of the original Jane, society seems to oppress itself into submission.
I had my doubts as to how Jane Eyre, a classic and beautiful but very dated and time-specific story, could be transplanted to the future, those doubts proved to be fruitless. While a little slow-starting (much like the original), Unclaimed is unique and exemplifies why Charlotte Bronte's gothic romance transcends the bounds of time and place to form universal truths. Usually, futuristic/dystopian stories spend a good deal of time explaining the society in great detail. Erin McCole Cupp sidesteps this technique and instead reveals her world slowly through context. There is almost no exposition, which leaves the reader curious and eager to learn more. A few times I wished she would explain things further, but for the most part this worked to the book's advantage. On to Nameless!

Unclaimed The Memoirs of Jane E Friendless Orphan Book 1 edition by Erin McCole Cupp Children eBooks Reviews
"Unclaimed The Memoirs of Jane E, Friendless Orphan" is a futuristic retelling of the first half of the classic "Jane Eyre" penned by Charlotte Bronte. We meet Jane at age 10, when she is living as a foster child with the Van Deers family. An unclaimed embryo, she never knew her parents. Due to their mutual dislike, she is sent to live at the Naomi Froundation, a work/study program in Delhi. There she meets Aidaan, a Catholic who becomes her one friend, and learns how to weave secret messages in cloth. As Jane seeks to find her place in the world, she learns some important lessons about herself and about faith.
While this story definitely pays homage to the original, one need not have read the classic to appreciate it. By the same token, knowing the underlying story does not take away from the enjoyment of reading Unclaimed. Cupp has penned an intriguing, thought-provoking tale well-worth spending time with.
If you needed proof that Jane Eyre by Chariotte Bronte is a timeless classic, Unclaimed The Memoirs of Jane E, Friendless Orphan—Book 1 is it.
Erin McCole Cupp expertly re-imagines Jane as among America’s least wanted in the near future an unclaimed embryo brought to life but unloved then laboring anonymously half a world away from home.
Interestingly, Jane’s hidden existence in a quasi school/sweatshop extends beyond merely weaving textiles, but hidden messages as well. Her only solace is the companionship of the ill Aidann, whose backstory is also modernized, and the compassion of her instructor Bhenji Nealingson.
Unclaimed takes the dear reader to Jane’s first encounter with her absentee employer Mr. Thorne in his fortress beneath the American desert.
Jane Eyre has long been a favorite of mine, and I enjoyed the first part of this retelling immensely. While appealing to the modern reader’s ear, it remains faithful to the truth of the original, even retaining the charm and tone of Bronte’s voice.
You do not, however, have to have read Jane Eyre to enjoy Jane_E. Much like the character herself, chin lifted high, it can stand on its own.
(The author is a fellow member of the Catholic Writers Guild, and I received an advance copy for my honest review.)
A great read! Unclaimed gives us a deeper look into an already exciting world!
This book was soooo interesting. I couldn't put it down -- really enjoyed it. Can't wait to read Book 2. I hate to say too much and give everything away, so I will say no more
This is a very well written story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series.
This is the Jane Eyre adaptation I have been waiting for. Not watered down and a more thorough exploration of Rochester and a few other characters. Plus the coolest idea for cyberpunk era communication ever.
Now I'm hooked on another serial work! Will the agony never end? LOL Great book and highly recommended to anyone.
