Rating: 5.0What it's about:
Immediately recognized as a masterpiece when it was first published in 1847, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is an extraordinary coming-of-age story featuring one of the most independent and strong-willed female protagonists in all of literature. Poor and plain, Jane Eyre begins life as a lonely orphan in the household of her hateful aunt. Despite the oppression she endures at home, and the later torture of boarding school, Jane manages to emerge with her spirit and integrity unbroken. She becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she finds herself falling in love with her employer—the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester. But an explosive secret tears apart their relationship, forcing Jane to face poverty and isolation once again.
One of the world’s most beloved novels, Jane Eyre is a startlingly modern blend of passion, romance, mystery, and suspense. -taken from Barnes&Noble.com
My thoughts:
I am so happy I finally got around to reading Jane Eyre. Jane is such a great character and so much her own person. She never compromises herself, but when she chooses, she gives with her whole heart. This book had more mystery and suspense than what I was expecting. I thought Jane Eyre was just a love story. It's so much more than that. It's a love story with lots of twists and turns. When I finished a chapter it left me quite expectant of the next. Jane Eyre is a very impassioned and intense novel full of vivid characters. I loved it!
