• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a wonderful novel about a woman’s life and love, and her growth into strength. Jane deals with all kinds of difficulties - food shortage, mistreatment, illness and death of friends, people trying to kill her but she comes out triumphant. It’s a great story, an unusual romance, and quite inspiring. (Grace Cyril)
