Jane Eyre is one of the great romantic heroines of world literature.

Orphaned into cold charity at the hands of her rich cousins and, later, at Lowood School, Jane escapes to take up a position as governess to the young ward of Mr. Rochester. Their love affair, Jane's discovery of Rochester's secret - hideosly concealed in the attic of Thornfield Hall - and her desperate fligt are told in a drama of passionate intensity whose pace never slackens.

Jane Eyre is a love story with a happy ending, rare in its time for its sympathetic portrayal of the love of a married man for another woman. İt is, as Thackery said, "The masterwork of a great genius."
