Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Charlotte Brontë’s classic is like three novels in one. Above all, it’s a haunting Gothic tale set in an ancient and remote manor house, a story full of suspense, terror, supernatural encounters, and twisted family secrets. But Jane Eyre is also a dark romance in which the road to true love is rife with potholes, as well as a coming-of-age story, tracing a heroine’s development from a shy, isolated teen into a confident woman.
When we first meet Jane, she’s just been sent by her cruel aunt to a boarding school with an even crueler headmaster. But circumstances quickly improve for Jane, whose headstrong nature bucks the social norms of the time. She becomes a teacher and starts working for the brooding, mysterious Mr. Rochester. Jane eventually falls for her employer, but he’s hiding a secret - and it’s a doozy. Brontë’s novel is, quite simply, a page-turner.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Charolette Brontë truly is a genius. This story has so much feeling, I loved it.
Wow, Jane’s Alright!
I really enjoyed this book. It was my first time reading it and I can see why people love it.
Jane is pretty gangster. She’s stoic and strong even tho the world has been cold and bitter to her.
I still have reservations about Rochester, but you know if she likes it, I love it. I feel like the heart wants what it wants even if it is a blind man, twice your age, hiding a secret wife and lying, laughing and playing in your face.
Couldn’t be me. However, it was a different time. Yo, maybe it could have been me!?
Nah, yo. I’m lying.
See that’s what it feels like when people be playing in your face!
Anyway, the writing was remarkable, it made me feel all the things. Charlotte Brontë is a legend with this writing. You felt every moment — despair, insanity, desolation, sparks flying, growth, renewal, everything. For that alone, this was a delightful reading experience!
