Jane Eyre

by Charlotte Brontë

About this book

Thornfield Hall, where a governess with no fortune and no family takes the only post that would have her, and finds a house built around a locked door on the third floor. Jane Eyre answers cruelty with iron and love with more honesty than the man she loves can bear — walk in anywhere from Lowood's cold dormitories to the wedding that never finishes.
