Jane Eyre

From The Publisher:
                    Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood
                    charity school, Jane Eyre none the less emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the
                    post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to
                    their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's
                    passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian
                    society.
