About this listen

 This is one of the greatest romances, and one of the greatest mysteries, ever written.

Jane Eyre is an orphan child who knows only abuse and misery from her mistress. As a young girl, she is sent off to a boarding school where her good character and diligent habits win her friends and respect. In time, Jane herself becomes a teacher at the school.

Seeking a wider horizon, Jane takes employment at Thornfield Hall, where she comes under the spell of Edward Rochester, its owner, a man of savage temperament and desperate unhappiness. The reason for both is linked to a great secret that is kept locked away on the third floor of the mansion. It's final revelation brings an incredible climax to the story and changes both lives forever.

Editorial reviews

Donna Barkman gives a passionate performance of English novelist Charlotte Brontë’s classic Victorian gothic romance Jane Eyre. The orphan Jane suffers at the hands of her abusive aunt Reed and spoiled cousins. Despite hardship, she triumphs over her miserable and tumultuous childhood. She later secures work as a governess at the manor Thornfield Hall, where meets its owner, the mysterious Edward Rochester. Just as happiness is within her grasp, she discovers Rochester’s dark secret, which is tucked away in the attic.

Critic Reviews

"Charlotte was the most admired of the Bronte sisters....praise[d] for her depth of feeling and her courageous realism." (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature)

Amazing narrator.

Amazing narrator. I was looking for an American version. I wish it was remastered though.
