Jane Eyre

By: Charlotte Brontë

Narrated by: Wanda McCaddon

This classic story shows how a young woman can overcome adversity and find true happiness. It is a story of passionate love, travail, and final triumph.

Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr. Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night.

The relationship between the heroine and Mr. Rochester is only one episode, albeit the most important, in a detailed fictional autobiography in which the author transmuted her own experience into high art. In this work, the plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance but possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit, and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer, and the rigid social order that circumscribes her life and position.

Critic reviews

"The masterwork of a great genius." (William Makepeace Thackeray)

Decent selection

This is kind of a girl book. Yes, it was entertaining, but it definitely was not on the level of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I'm glad I read it though.

Very Enjoyable

I have been listening to the classics and this is one of my favorites, definitely worth the listen.

Great narrator

I bought this version of Jane Eyre after I noticed complaints about the narrators of other unabridged versions. I was very pleased with this narrator and never bored of the story.
