Brilliant reading of Jane Eyre

Juliet Stevenson was just brilliant reading this book. I was unable to put it down and really felt the characters came alive.
Thanks

Brilliant way to experience classics

i resisted reading Jane Eyre in college and have never felt inclined to read British 19th-century novels - but wow, i'm very pleased to be accessing this kind of literature via Audible and the superb reading of Juliet Stevenson. i listened to this in bed and was absolutely transported. The depth of emotion and character development is extraordinary. i take back all my dumb preconceptions about the relevance of 19th-century novels. This is an extraordinary work that helps us understand human feeling and emotion in any era.

I keep coming back to this book

For me, Jane Eyre is about the complexities of being human and the value of inner strength. There is challenge, despair, misadventure and mystery but all along the way you are given moments of raw heart which are enough to sustain you and propel you on to the next. Just like life. Dare to dream, make the best of your circumstances and build the life you wish for! I'm not too shy to admit that sometimes when I'm facing something in my own life I wonder - what would Jane do?

Juliet Stevenson narrates this perfectly! Her voice is now always connected to Jane inside my head. I can't tell you how many times I have returned to this story. The first time I enjoyed it I was hooked! As a re-listen/read/watch I find it calming.

Surprisingly fast paced and dramatic for my first classic read

I have never read the classics but was forced to give this a go through my book club. It was surprisingly fast paced when I expected it to be slow and superfluously wordy.
I enjoyed how it was character-led, that the author did not pack in too many events that the character development was drowned out. At the same time there were enough changes and surprises in plot to make it interesting. I really enjoyed it and would read it again, or at least watch the movie.
