Immediately recognized as a masterpiece when it was first published in 1847, Charlotte BrontÃ«â€™s Jane Eyre is an extraordinary coming-of-age story featuring one of the most independent and strong-willed female protagonists in all of literature. Poor and plain, Jane Eyre begins life as a lonely orphan in the household of her hateful aunt. 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 employerâ€”the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester. But an explosive secret tears apart their relationship, forcing Jane to face poverty and isolation once again.

One of the worldâ€™s most beloved novels, Jane Eyre is a startlingly modern blend of passion, romance, mystery, and suspense.
