Jane Eyre is alone in the world. Disliked by
her aunt's family, she is sent away to school. Here she learns that a
young girl, with neither money nor family to support her, can expect
little from the world. She survives, but she wants more from life than
simply to survive: she wants respect, and love. When she goes to work
for Mr Rochester, she hopes she has found both at once. But the sound of
strange laughter, late at night, behind a locked door, warns her that
her troubles are only beginning. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0194230880/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books
Charlotte Bronte has such a great ability to tell an intricate story full of suspense, romance, intrigue and forgiveness, that it feels like the reader is right there watching the story unfold. In May, 2011, my daughter and I went to see the new movie version and now my curiousity to find out how much it was like the book has been satisfied. As far as the story was told in the movie, to my enrapture, it turned out to be true to the book! I think that this book may warrant a second reading, even though few books ever interest me this much!!
