By Guest Reviewer “Lizzie Bennett”
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.”
There is no literary character I love quite as well as Jane Eyre. This book is the beautifully written story of a plain, little woman who, despite every circumstance set against her, manages to shine with intelligence, independence, and moral strength.
Despite the Victorian backdrop, which I love, modern readers will adore our protagonist’s way of speaking her own mind. Her conversations with her love interest are marvelous. Although there is physical attraction, this is really an equally matched romance of hearts and minds. Jane is no ingénue!
Of course, this book has so much more than a strong female character and a beautiful romance. It has mystery, heartbreak, and tragedy. Jane Eyre simply must be in your home library! (this particular volume is SOLD on the website)
