Jane Eyre

By: Charlotte Brontë

Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes Jane Eyre as an "influential feminist text" because of its in depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto feminism.©2017 SAGA Egmont.

Classic

An oldie but a goodie.

I vaguely remembered parts of the film, so I knew the basic story before "reading" it. There are lots of intriguing twists and a few gothic elements.

Way better than I expected. I liked the narrator. Her narrating really helped set the mood of the story.

The Best

Elizabeth Klett is my very favorite narrator and she does nothing but bring light and enjoyment to this novel. If I could give 10 Stars I would.

Buyer beware!!
