F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bront??)

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction.

All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.

    However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
