Jane Eyre is offered love, but not on equal terms. Her answer makes her one of fiction's great heroines.

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAGGIE O'FARRELL
Orphaned as a child, Jane grows up unwanted in her aunt's house and then at a brutal school. What she carries from those years is not obedience, but a fierce inward certainty: that her life belongs to her.
When Jane becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, she finds growing independence and the possibility of love. Thornfield is no ordinary house. Its master, Mr Rochester, is passionate, guarded and impossible to ignore, and the rooms around them hold secrets that will test everything Jane believes about duty, desire and self-respect.
Brontë's novel endures because Jane's voice never loses its force: direct, searching and fiercely alive to injustice. What begins as a Gothic story of secrecy and desire becomes something more radical: the story of a woman insisting that love, if it is to be worth having, must leave her conscience intact.
