Summary

Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes Jane Eyre as an "influential feminist text" because of its in depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto feminism.

A great story poorly played

I was very disappointed with this audiobook. The chapter titles don’t line up - they’re random all over the place - and they announce end of chapter ?, the book name and author and then the new chapter number, every time, which is very annoying! I love this story but don’t buy this audiobook, go and look for a better one!!

don't buy

you're better off spending more on a better performance. irksome voices, annoyingly long pauses between chapters and the title of the book and author announced each time, poor interpretation of characters, not very convincing british accent too. I've returned it barely half through and bought the version by Thandie Newton. finally got my money's worth.
