Jane Eyre

"I tired of the routine of eight years in one afternoon. I desired liberty; for liberty I gasped; for liberty I uttered a prayer; it seemed scattered on the wind then faintly blowing."

Orphaned as a child, Jane is sent to live with her wealthy aunt at Gateshead. After a traumatic event in the room where her uncle died (did his ghost really appear?), she is sent away to boarding school. Eight years later, Jane leaves her post as a teacher at that same school and sets off on a new adventure as governess to the young ward of the mysterious Edward Rochester. But why do strange things keep happening at Thornfield Hall? Is Jane's life in danger if she stays?

Quietly rebellious in a world that breeds agreeable females, Jane takes charge of her own destiny and decides to follow her heart. An instant success both critically and commercially, the elements of Gothic romance make Jane Eyre a far-from-traditional coming-of-age novel that questions whether it's worth sacrificing freedom for love.
