Description

Charlotte Brontë’s most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane’s childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, "Jane Eyre" has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.

    I first read this book at 14 or 15 and have always considered it as a favorite. Fifty or so years later it still is! Much can be learned of life and what is ultimately worth the wait!

    For this book to hold my attention I had to force myself to read without enjoyment in a large section of the book. It was just okay. I won’t read it again.

    It’s an authentic tragedy that Jane Eyre reads like a quaint and naive throwback to a lost era. Brontë’s heroine is the embodiment of what we used to call character: Virtuous, faithful to her own moral compass, intelligent, rational, compassionate, responsible, courageous, self reliant, generous, forgiving, a person without envy, malice, or greed. It is hard to resist the conclusion that a society in which Jane Eyre could become a popular best-seller is a society preferable to that of our current age.

    This book is a great love story. It is a real page turner. You won’t want to put it down. My wife and I both used the same quote from this book when we said our vows at our wedding. Follow The main character (Jane) through her trials and tribulations of life. I love this book because Jane faces a lot of adversity and remind resilient. It’s a love story but it’s also a story about resiliency.
