Book description
HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.
'I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an
independent will.'
Bronte's infamous Gothic novel tells the story of orphan Jane, a child
of unfortunate circumstances. Raised and treated badly by her aunt and
cousins and eventually sent away to a cruel boarding school, it is not
until Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield that she finds happiness.
Meek, measured, but determined, Jane soon falls in love with her
brooding and stormy master, Mr Rochester, but it is not long before
strange and unnerving events occur in the house and Jane is forced to
leave Thornfield to pursue her future.
