Jane Eyre - Hardcover

by Charlotte Brontë (Author)

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."

As an orphan, Jane's childhood is full of trouble, but her stubborn independence and sense of self help her to steer through the miseries inflicted by cruel relatives and a brutal school. A position as governess at the Thornfield Hall promises a kind of freedom. But Thornfield is a house full of secrets, its master a passionate, tormented man, and before long Jane faces her greatest struggle in a choice between love and self-respect.

Originally published in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's haunting tale of love remains as engaging and entertaining as ever.
