Jane Eyre

Today I finished reading "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. It was really good, easier to understand than Austen, I thought. I see how a lot of books have been influenced by her style and plot. It's a story of a orphaned girl who leaves an unhappy life at a boarding school and goes on to be a governess for a little girl at Thornfield Manor. While there, she falls in love with the owner of the manor and the little girl's guardian, Mr. Rochester. It was really a page turner. I couldn't wait to see what happened next, and Jane Eyre is an inspiring heroine.
