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
A rollercoaster of emotions
Reading the language was cathartic and a complete joy. I loved Jane and her quizzical and astute mind. It was completely heart warming to read and made me cry many à time - happy and sad tears.
A masterpiece that transcends the centuries
Jane Eyre is now one of my favourite books I have ever read, it is so vivid in my mind. Brontë writes so masterfully that even 200 years later her writing moves me to both tears and laughter. I feel like I know Jane Eyre and have walked alongside her in her story. A wonderful read.
Miss Jane Eyre
Since my childhood I’ve always loved this book. I must have read it a million times and never tire of the story. It’s exciting, sad, romantic and heartbreaking at various parts but most of all it’s about love. The end
