Charlotte Bronte's moving masterpiece – the novel that has been "teaching true strength of character for generations" (The Guardian) A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a woman's quest for freedom. Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor-qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved? This updated Penguin Classics edition features a new introduction by Bronte scholar and award-winning novelist Stevie Davies, as well as comprehensive notes, a chronology, further reading, and an appendix.

Loved loved loved

I was very surprised by this book. I was expecting it to be boring, but This is the first time in a while that I stayed up late reading a book and was genuinely upset that I had to put it down to sleep. So well written and the characters are all so interesting. Even St. John, who I despise, was a very well written character. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time.

A soul-deep story; my favorite classic

This was the third time I’ve read this book, and I’m pretty sure I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it for school! It’s well and truly my favorite classic, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time I read this book. It’s a fascinating character study; I love the deep dive we get into Jane’s perspective on life, as well as getting to know Mr. Rochester’s strengths, weaknesses, and an idea of what drives him. This is also a very atmospheric novel…there’s nothing quite like the almost-dismal surroundings Jane finds herself in, and the kind of people she comes across in those places. This is a deep story, and it’s got slow pacing, which makes it easy to put down, but it’s well worth persevering with (thankfully, the further you go in the book, the more gripping it gets). The way this book wraps up is quite possibly my favorite ending ever! Read it for the characters and the setting, and the story will grip you, too. Highly recommended!
