Jane Eyre

Wow. It might not be a very descripive word but in this case I believe there is no other that can surmise so quickly how completely and utterly fantastic this book is. Charlotte Bronte truly has a gift for words. I read this book with few expectations and almost no idea of what jt would entail. But now I can hardly stop myself from praising it. It was that good! Jane Eyre is a story of love and duty, propriety and forgiveness. It is about a young governess that finds a home through serving her master. As an orphan, Jane was raised dependent on others that did not want her. However, when she finds a place of employment she soon finds an equall in her master Mr Rochester. He confides in her and they becomes fast friends despite his gloomy and snappish personality. It is the story of Jane coming to terms with her past and her course to love. I love this novel because charlotte captures the true nature of love: that it is imperfect but immovable. It grows and then remains for eternity. If it is true it will never fade, and each half will do all it can to preserve it. I will always love this book because of this and also the unpredictable and unforseeable conflicts, circumstances and twists that arise when the reader least expects it.
