Summary: The young orphan Jane Eyre inhabits a fragile position. Born to a good family but with no wealth of her own, Jane is sent to live with her uncle's family--an arrangement that turns sour when he dies--and then to Lowood, a punitive and tyrannically run boarding school for girls. As she matures into adulthood, Jane's fiery spirit and independence grow more acute, as does her sensitivity to the world around her. Now governess of the secluded Thornfield Hall, the only place she has ever felt at home, Jane falls in love with the passionate and impulsive Edward Rochester, master of the house. Just when it seems her luck has finally changed, Jane discovers the secret of the attic--a terrible revelation that threatens to to destroy her dreams of happiness forever. (from amazon.com)
