Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë


Jane is an outcast in her own home. Family cast her out, so she learns to survive relying on no one. 

Fate brings her to be governess for the little Adèle at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the dark brooding Mr Rochester. Souls entwine and secrets and misunderstandings threaten to pull apart those that were intended.

Fires, madness, untold histories, society expectations, loyalties and a certain inevitability rounds this classic up into its quiet, dark and final conclusion.

Heroines in literature will rise and fade. Jane Eyre will survive them all.
