this is a classic I will probably either read in a class someday or get around to it on my own. I know its by a Bronte...and that's about it lol.
from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Eyre
| Quote: |
| Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character, a small, plain-faced, intelligent and honest English orphan. The novel goes through five distinct stages — Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood Academy, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and...(edited out as not to give away the end, even though I saw it :p) Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism and sinister Gothic elements. |
sounds good to me. but its probalby not everybody's cup of tea.

I'm actually reading it right now, too. I haven't gotten very far, but I do find it charming. Tell me how you like it when you get into it! I would love to discuss!
