`Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart!´
Orphaned at a young age, Jane Eyre is foisted upon unfriendly relations, sent to school to suffer illness, injustice and privation, before striking out on her own to earn her living as a governess.
Independent and passionate by nature, Jane only begins to discover fulfilment when she takes up a post at Thornfield Hall and gets to know the master Mr Rochester, a man of changeable moods. Yet will Thornfield´s secrets and Mr Rochester´s past prove obstacles to Jane´s happiness?
With its gothic atmosphere and first-person narrative, Charlotte Bronte´s bildungsroman has captivated readers since its first appearance in 1847.
