(3) YA Another ice age has sent humanity to live on spaceships. Stella escapes an impoverished life on a decaying space vessel and takes a governess job on the Rochester. Although the captain of the new ship is charming and she welcomes its luxuries, Stella senses secrets and dangers on board. Donne loosely (and mostly successfully) maps the plot and themes of Jane Eyre onto post-apocalyptic space fiction in her debut novel.
