| Set in 19th century England, Jane Eyre's quest is to find meaning in her life that began as an unloved orphan sent to a girl's boarding school at the age of 10. Here she embarks on an education that eventually leads to a governess' position, where she meets the worldy, intriguing and wealthy Edward Rochester. There begins an tenuous relationship that grows into a semi-tragic romance in one of the greatest books I've ever read. | ||
