WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAGGIE O'FARRELL
As an orphan, Jane's childhood is full of trouble, but her stubborn independence and sense of self help her to steer through the miseries inflicted by cruel relatives and a brutal school.
Jane Eyre is offered love, but not on equal terms. Her answer makes her one of fiction’s great heroines.
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAGGIE O’FARRELL
Orphaned as a child, Jane grows up unwanted in her aunt’s house and then at a brutal school. What she carries from those years is not obedience, but a fierce inward certainty: that her life belongs to her.
When Jane becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, she finds growing independence and the possibility of love. Thornfield is no ordinary house. Its master, Mr Rochester, is passionate, guarded and impossible to ignore, and the rooms around them hold secrets that will test everything Jane believes about duty, desire and self-respect.
Brontë’s novel endures because Jane’s voice never loses its force: direct, searching and fiercely alive to injustice. What begins as a Gothic story of secrecy and desire becomes something more radical: the story of a woman insisting that love, if it is to be worth having, must leave her conscience intact.

'A revolutionary work of fiction.' Tanya Sweeney, The Irish Independent
A beautiful gift, and perfect gems for bookworms. * So Darling *
At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë -- Virginia Woolf
Jane Eyre's suspense-laden, melodramatic plot - featuring child cruelty and attempted bigamy, as well as the celebrated madwoman - explains much of its appeal... Jane Eyre is a book into which generations of readers have escaped. And yet it seems to provide something far more sustaining than the escapist fantasy... Her technical skill at writing the self in a first-person narrative is supreme, her words carefully chosen -- Lucasta Miller * Guardian *
Charlotte Bronte was surely a marvellous woman. If it could be right to judge the work of a novelist from one small portion of one novel [JE], and to say of an author that he is to be accounted as strong as he shows himself to be in his strongest morsel of work, I should be inclined to put Miss Bronte very high indeed. I know of no interest more thrilling than that which she has been able to throw into the characters of Rochester and the governess, in the second volume of Jane Eyre -- Anthony Trollope
Great genius -- William Makepeace Thackeray
Passionately independent orphan falls for the perfect romantic anti-hero. But then she discovers what he keeps in his attic... -- Maggie O’Farrell
