Publisher's Synopsis
Maltreated at the hands of her cruel aunt, and suffering under the harsh discipline of Lowood School, Jane Eyre's childhood is far from a happy one. Things promise to improve when Jane takes up the role of governess at Thornfield Hall, but the mystery of what is in the attic looms large, threatening to disrupt the fledgling love affair between Jane and the property's mercurial owner, Mr Rochester. Combining the gothic, the romantic and the supernatural, Jane Eyre is a classic tale of self-discovery, dealing with complex issues such as class, status, love, passion and religion within Victorian society.
