Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre endures loneliness and cruelty in the home of her heartless aunt and the cold charity of Lowood School. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit - which prove necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of a shameful secret forces her to make a terrible choice. A novel of intense emotional power, heightened atmosphere and fierce intelligence, Jane Eye (1847) dazzled and shocked readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom on her own terms.
