Charlotte Bronte
One of the world's most beloved novels, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is a startlingly modern blend of passion, romance, mystery, and suspense.

Despite the oppression she endures at home, and the later torture of boarding school, Jane manages to emerge with her spirit and integrity unbroken. She becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she finds herself falling in love with her employer-the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester.
