What this book is about
Jane Eyre — an orphan with no money and no beauty but an absolute sense of her own worth — becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with the brooding Mr. Rochester. But Thornfield has a secret, and Jane's moral clarity will force her to choose between love and principle. Brontë's masterwork is a study in independence and self-respect that still feels urgent: Jane is the first heroine in English fiction who refuses to be diminished by anyone.
