Reader, I married him

by Tracy Chevalier

First published 2017

Jane Eyre arrives at Thornfield Hall with nothing but her skills as a governess. The orphaned young woman finds work teaching the ward of Edward Rochester, the estate's enigmatic master. Rochester proves unpredictable and moody, yet Jane discovers herself drawn to him despite their different stations. The grand house holds secrets that Rochester keeps hidden from Jane and everyone else. As Jane and Rochester grow closer, their attraction deepens into something more dangerous. Jane faces a choice between following her heart and preserving the independence she has fought to maintain. The strict expectations of Victorian society threaten to crush any hope of their union. Jane must decide whether love can triumph over the mysterious forces that seem determined to keep them apart, or if the price of passion will cost her everything she values about herself.
