Penniless and plain, Jane Eyre seems an unlikely romantic heroine, but she is as indomitable in spirit as she is frail in appearance - a courageous combination of intelligence, passion and tenderness.
After a loveless childhood, Jane eventually finds a home at Thornfield House as Governess to the ward of her fearsome but enigmatically charming employer Mr Rochester. As the horrible secret of Thornfield unravels so the affinity between Jane and Rochester intensifies, until Jane is forced to choose between the desires of her heart and the demands of society upon her integrity.
With introduction and chronology of Charlotte Bronte's life and times.
