| Publisher Description: What is the meaning of the mysterious laughter that Jane Eyre hears at Thornfield Hall whenever there is a full moon? And who is the strange Grace Poole she sees every so often in its corridors? Jane discovers the answers as, on the threshold of a bigamous marriage, she is told Rochester's dark secret and flees Thornfield for the inhospitable wilderness of the Derbyshire moors. This orphan's changing fortunes after her humiliating upbringing; her battles for physical and spiritual independence; and her thoughts on marriage and female independence are just some of the themes touched on by Charlotte Bronte in this her first, and most famous, novel. Originally published in 1847 to universal acclaim and admiration, Jane Eyre is as grippingly relevant today as it was one hundred and fifty years ago. |
