Jane Eyre

I loved Jane's story all the way until the bittersweet end. To look at this story at face value would have it seem almost a romance novel. But it is so much more than that. Jane is a heroine who goes through life braving every horrible thing that may come her way, through it all she never loses her firm grasp in God, as well as in herself. I was very sad when I got to the last page. I wasn't ready to part with Jane and her self respect, her honest care and love for others. Jane Eyre became so real to me that I am at a loss for words. This book has been a wonderful read, I hope that other stories may turn out to touch my heart just as much as this one did.

Absolutely gripped me. Once I was past the first 9 chapters, things began to pick up, and I struggled to put the book down. This book features a rich, complex, heavy first-person narration, and a dark, gothic overtone throughout the novel.

I am listening to BBC radio dramatization with Sophie Thompson andCiaran Hinds.
