Jane Eyre

Some choices aren't always black and white. Jane carves her own path to emotional and physical independence. In this newest edition of Jane Eyre, editor Paulette Kirkham explains Jane's insightful and innovative move from darkness to emancipation and light. After laughing over the Bachelor of the Albany, we wept over Jane Eyre. This, indeed, is a book after our own heart; and, if its merits have not forced it into notice ... lose not a day in sending for it ... The book closed, the enchantment continues. Reality-deep, significant reality-is the great characteristic of the book.-George Henry Lewes The tale is one of the heart, and the working out of a moral through the natural affections; it is the victory of mind over matter; the mastery of reason over feeling, without unnatural sacrifices ... [The plot twist] we will not disclose, for we recommend the book strongly to our readers.-The Era.
