Description

An orphaned young woman, Jane, suffers an unhappy childhood. As a result of her trials, she becomes a strong and practical young woman. Her maturity leads to her being offered a position as the Governess at Thornfield Hall. Upon arriving, Jane meets two very different men who challenge her sensibilities: the clergyman St. John Rivers; and the owner of Thornfield Hall, the mysterious and secretive Edward Rochester. The classic Victorian novel Jane Eyre challenges contemporary conventions of love, family, class and desire; and ultimately questions how much of our identity we are willing to give up for those we love.

It was a great success and has become a classic of English literature.
