One of the greatest, most earth-shattering romances of all time - a passionate story of grim secrets, a blazing love and the fiery power of the human spirit. This edition includes extensive background information.
Orphaned as a young girl, Jane Eyre is brought up by her cruel and uncaring aunt. It is a gloomy start, but when Jane becomes governess in the home of the dark and shadowy Mr Rochester, her life will never quite be the same again. Novelist Celia Rees introduces the novel, telling what got her hooked on the book. And an information section at the back covers breaking news, fashion, crime and punishment and music from the time when the novel was published.
