The setting where Gemma Hardy begins her journey in Margot Livesey's The Flight of Gemma Hardy (2012). This novel is a modern homage and reimagining of Brontë's Jane Eyre. Yew House, the residence in Gemma Hardy, mirrors Jane's unhappy childhood at Gateshead Hall in the beginning of Brontë's novel. Gemma, the titular character, remarks, "Long before Veronica's remark, even before my uncle's death, I would have said that the only thing I shared with my oldest cousin was an address: Yew House, Strathmuir, Perthshire, Scotland" (Livesey 5). With immediacy, Livesey establishes the similarities: a broken relationship with Gemma's cousin, a dead uncle, and a home where Gemma doesn't truly belong.
