Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Nelka

Yes, this is a classic; why is it such, to me...
The heroine, Jane Eyre, is someone who thinks - about her life and surroundings, the people and their lives around her - and not only thinks, she questions. She accepts the rules of the society, but, in her thoughts, she is above it.
And she remembers to think - and act on her thoughts - when in pain. Her belief in God and the spiritual next world gives her strength. This really impresses itself on me, every time that I reread the book.
Reading of how their love developes is ..engrossing. I really can't think of another word. Charlotte Bronte shows so well how the things - and people - come together, and come to connect and feel.
A special book, and I highly recommend it.
