Should she stay with him and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving the man she loves? A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre (1847) dazzled and shocked readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom.
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontëová
Moja prvá dlhá knižka, ktorú som prečítala v 12 rokoch a príbeh Jany ma hlboko zasiahol. Smrť kamarátky na týfus, sama bez lásky rodičov v sirotčinci, tragická láska, bláznivá (ex)manželka jej milého a šťastný koniec ma prinútili knihu čítať opakovane.
