Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

A Captivating Classic

Jane Eyre

Look I’ll be honest with you, I  really didn’t want to read this one, I assumed (rightly might I add) that this would be a sappy book. 

But I committed to reading all 100 books on the list, so I did and damn I’m glad, once I started reading it  I couldn’t stop. Yes, it was “sappy” and a romance book but I just couldn’t put it down till it was done.

 The twists and turns are gripping and the way it is written just latches onto you and doesn’t let go. I completely understand why it’s such a beloved classic, and I highly recommend it. 

 

Written by Charlotte Bronte and originally published in 1847 under her pen name ‘Currer Bell,’ Jane Eyre was truly revolutionary for its time. The book traces the journey of its main character, Jane Eyre, from her challenging upbringing to adulthood, weaving in a profound love story with Mr Rochester and a host of other compelling elements. Unlike some of the slower, laborious romance novels of the past, Jane Eyre manages to maintain a steady pace, keeping readers thoroughly engaged.

 

The Book follows the life of (you guessed it) Jane Eyre from a young girl growing up in a harsh environment to adulthood and her love interest with so much more peppered in just for good measure. I have found some of these older romance novels to be slow and labouring to read but not this one. 

 

Ladies if you love a good romance novel, give it a read. You won’t be disappointed and men (if you’ve gotten this far) just give it a go, it just keeps getting better.
