Publisher's Summary
Following the tremendous success of Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë returned to pen a novel every bit as romantic and compelling as her first, but with deeper, heartier themes as she captured the social and political currents of the newly industrialized United Kingdom of 1812. Set in a chaotic time in England, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Caroline Helstone's world is turned upside down when she meets the vivacious Shirley Keeldar. Shirley becomes a beacon of light for Caroline as the two become close friends. However, Caroline is soon shocked to discover that Shirley has won the affections of Robert Moore, the impoverished mill owner whom she loves. Fully representative of Yorkshire life at the time, Brontë's second novel is completely gripping, unrelenting and utterly wrenching in its portrayal.

Wonderful
It took me a while to get into this book, but I'm so glad I stuck it out because it was so wonderful. I really enjoyed it and was sad that it had to end! Also really well narrated.

Brilliant Performance
More like something by George Eliot than the author of Jane Eyre.

Wonderful story
Georgina Sutton did a spectacular job of narrating this well loved take. Her command of French and ability to change accents seamlessly was brilliant.
