Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Jane Eyre is a book about a young girl and her many struggles on finding herself, balance and happiness. This book is from her point of view, speaking directly to the reader as she starts out, beaten and repressed in her Aunt's house. She is later sent to school and must learn how to conduct herself and show people what she is really like. She learns life lessons from a fellow student, and she changes greatly. Throughout the book she seems to have many different changes in character.

She becomes a governess for a little French child who is living in a large mansion that is surrounded in mystery. There is a strange servant in the attic with a creepy laugh, strange noises and dangerous occurances. And the strange master that is always away from home will soon be returning. Then everything will change for Jane Eyre. She will have to figure out what is right to do, even when it is very hard. Can she possibly find happiness and a true home at the end of it all?

This book is very thick with religion and superstition - of ideas of spirits and sprites. It is quite odd at some points but yo will get very deep in the book and wont be able to put it down at other points. It is a book about love.

Recommended to ages 14 and Up.
