Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr. Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night. The relationship between the heroine and Mr. Rochester is only one episode, albeit the most important, in a detailed fictional autobiography in which the author transmuted her own experience into high art. In this work, the plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance but possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit, and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer, and the rigid social order that circumscribes her life and position.

"A masterwork. This reverse Cinderella story becomes a vital and energetic tale through McCaddon's lovely rendition." ---Library Journal Audio Review

"McCaddon's energy is sustained for the whole of this lengthy novel, bringing Bronte's endearing narrative to life." ---AudioFile
