Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is one of the great classics of English literature, combining gothic mystery, romance and coming-of-age fiction in the unforgettable story of a woman determined to live with independence, dignity and self-respect. First published in 1847, the novel remains one of the most influential works of Victorian fiction and a landmark portrayal of a strong female protagonist.

As a young woman, she accepts a position as governess at Thornfield Hall, the mysterious country estate of Edward Rochester.
Rochester is intelligent, commanding and difficult to understand. As Jane gets to know him, their relationship develops into one of classic literature's most famous romances. Yet Thornfield hides secrets that threaten everything Jane has begun to hope for.
Strange sounds echo through the house. Mysterious events disturb its seemingly ordered life. And when the truth finally emerges, Jane must choose between the man she loves and the principles that define who she is.
