Jane Eyre
624 pages · First published 2006
Orphaned Jane Eyre grows up facing cruelty and deprivation, yet refuses to surrender her sense of dignity. Becoming a governess at Thornfield Hall offers independence and an unexpected connection with its enigmatic master, Edward Rochester. But unsettling laughter, mysterious disturbances, and secrets within the household threaten the happiness beginning to seem possible. Jane must decide what love can ask of her—and what she cannot sacrifice without losing herself. Storm-dark and emotionally intense, this Gothic classic rewards readers drawn to fiercely independent heroines, troubled romance, and the long search for a place to belong.
