Jane Eyre is truly timeless-it is a work of literature that will introduce readers of any age to memorable characters and a story that gets better and better each time you read it.
This book leaves the reader wanting to know what will happen to the much abused Jane and read with increasing credulity all that she goes through as a child and subsequently the fate that befalls her once she is at Thornfield. The plot is so imaginative and so full of unexpected turns and coincidences that it is impossible to put down after being drawn in at Chapter One. It is a romance between two strong characters each with diametrically opposed pasts and who represent the time period in which it was written. For sheer what-is-going-to-happen-next value, Jane Eyre really can't be beat-it is a true gothic novel. What lies in wait for Jane is nothing compared to what she has escaped from and this, I feel, is the most incredible and page-turning aspect of the book. The story develops in a way that holds your interest as she meets Rochester and the secrets of Thornfield are revealed. When I first read Jane Eyre, I was absolutely captivated by the story, the characters, Jane's plight as an orphan at Gateshead and Lowood and her transition to governess at Thornfield.
