Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Since its initial release, Jane Eyre has experienced enormous popularity, most of which may be attributed to her great emotional impact. The mysterious Mr Rochester hires Jane Eyre, a poor orphan, to serve as governess at Thornfield Hall. As their love for one another deepens and Mr Rochester’s prior secrets are disclosed, she is put to the ultimate test of her independence and morality. This outstanding new edition of the iconic work of Victorian literature features updated notes and a fresh introduction by a leading Bront researcher. This text is based on the authoritative Clarendon edition, which was based on the first publications of Charlotte Bronte’s famous novel.

In Jane Eyre, two people with incredibly convoluted pasts come to experience deep love. The threat that the mad woman, a mysterious figure in the attic, poses to the house as well as the knowledge that nothing is as it seems, that there are lies and secrets, and that the house is about to blow up are also present. All of those things are elements of the genre known as “domestic noir” in modern culture. In some ways—not all of them, but some—Jane Eyre is the first example of home noir.
Bronte’s detailed tale needs time to be fully absorbed; you cannot skim it. Her language is lovely, and her words paint such vivid pictures! Every other page requires a dictionary, but it’s worthwhile. The story is made more powerful by the words. This is a book that you should read at various stages in your life because, depending on your own experiences, you may identify with, sympathize with, or even fault her for the same acts.
I adore the subtle hints of mystery and menacing foreboding woven throughout the narrative: the fleeting mountaintop joys followed by pain and despair, then perseverance and resolution.
