It isn't me speaking, but Bertha Antoinette Mason, the madwoman in the attic in "Jane Eyre", the first Mrs. Rochester. Yes, I modernized it a bit, with the mention of the salon, but still, it isn't meant to be a metaphor for my own life. As yet, no one has found it necessary to lock me up in the attic for fear I'll burn the house down. I just tried to imagine how she might feel and what she might say.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.com
