Trade Review
Never fails to reconnect me to the spirit of real romance… Timeless story… Every page throbs with passion. * Saga Magazine *
After all these years, it’s the emotions we most respond to in Jane Eyre… This is also a novel about intellectual growth, written by a fiercely intelligent writer… She has a formidable brain as well as a strongly beating heart, and so it will still seem another 100 years from now. -- Sam Jordison * Guardian *
Wonderful, teasing… That her great novel of wish-fulfilment is still widely devoured is the supreme happy ending. -- Ysenda Maxtone Graham * Spectator *
Marred only by the fact that Charlotte clearly liked Mr Rochester too much; but we can forgive her that. Often given to schoolchildren to read, but you have to be a grown-up to really get it. One of the most perfectly structured novels of all time -- Sarah Waters
At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë -- Virginia Woolf
