Praise for Jane Eyre

Never fails to reconnect me to the spirit of real romance. Timeless story. Every page throbs with passion.

Saga Magazine

After all these years, it's the emotions we most respond to in Jane Eyre. This is also a novel about intellectual growth, written by a fiercely intelligent writer. She has a formidable brain as well as a strongly beating heart, and so it will still seem another 100 years from now.

Sam Jordison, Guardian

Wonderful, teasing. That her great novel of wish-fulfilment is still widely devoured is the supreme happy ending.
