Henrietta & Eleanor: A Retelling of Jekyll and Hyde

Book: Henrietta & Eleanor: A Retelling of Jekyll and Hyde
Author: Libby Spurrier

Dr Jekyll, a charming doctor, explores the possibility of dividing the dark and light side of her personality, but in doing this she creates a monster, Eleanor Hyde. For many years she manages to live under the radar, keeping her dark secret unknown to those around her. However, gradually her evil side gains strength until Dr Jekyll is overwhelmed by Eleanor Hyde, to disastrous consequences. An exploration of human duality and forces of good and evil, this modern retelling is compelling and eerie and retains the disturbing nature of the original text.-Goodreads

Review: 'Henrietta & Eleanor: A Retelling of Jekyll and Hyde' is another Audible Original. Excellent voice actors took on a modern twist of the classic story. While I still prefer the original story, I overall enjoyed this. 

Grade: 3/5
