Summary by Goodreads.com
I have found Jane Eyre to be amongst my favourite classics, it (unlike many others written in the era), was not at all difficult to read. The story, although long, held my interests without and is as the blurb tells it to be "one of the most perfectly structured novels of all time." A very fulfilling classical romance, I found the characters absorbing and competent, more so than perhaps current day protagonists (despite the restrictions on women in that era.) I would recommend this novel to those who are fond of either romance novels or a good classic.
