Orphaned Jane Eyre grows up in the home of her heartless aunt -where she endures loneliness and cruelty -and at a charity school with a harsh regime. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit, which prove necessary when she finds a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secrets forces her to make a choice: should she stay with him and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving the man she loves?
A novel of intense power and intrigue, JANE EYRE originally dazzled and shocked readers with its passionate depictions of a woman's search for equality and freedom.
