In this revolutionary novel, Charlotte Brontë crafts a portrait of a young woman on the verge of adulthood. When she is hired as a governess at Thornfield, Jane Eyre must contend with its temperamental master, Edward Rochester. As she grows to love Mr. Rochester, secrets are revealed, morality is examined, and the very fabric of Jane's identity is called into question.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Whether one treasures this classic piece of literature as an old companion or has no acquaintance with it at all, the listener is in for a treat. Reader Bentinck draws us at once into the trials assailing the orphaned and ill-treated 10-year-old Jane. Bentinck's soft voice, flawless rhythms, and cultured British accent are exactly what's needed to guide listeners through this heroine's wild history of tribulations and jubilations. She portrays men, women, and children of different classes quite convincingly, and illuminates a wide range of nuanced emotions as Jane encounters hunger and cruelty as well as tender friendships at school, then a world of anger, fear, defeat, humor, sarcasm, affection, and exaltation as teacher and governess. The remarkable plot, the carefully delineated characters, and Bentinck's acting facility make the journey an intriguing and memorable experience.
