Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics)

Classic novel, man falls in love with governess, is married, wife dies, he married Jane in the end.

I love love loved this book!! I’m really hoping to read more gothic/romantic novel like this.

entrancing charm that her fictional predecessors used to make their way in the world. Instead, Jane relies upon her powers of diligence and perception, conducting herself with dignity animated by passion. The instant and lasting success of Jane Eyre proved Brontë's instincts correct. Readers of her era and ever after have taken the impoverished orphan girl into their hearts, following her from the custody of cruel relatives to a dangerously oppressive boarding school and onward through a troubled career as a governess. Jane's first assignment at Thorn field, where the proud and cynical master of the house harbors a scandalous secret, draws readers ever deeper into a compelling exploration of the mysteries of the human heart.

Beautiful writing. I felt so attached to Jane Eyre and was rooting for her the whole way through. Some parts were pretty dense in reading, but overall I love this book soooo much.

me when i’m a raging misandrist <3
