" As you can tell from the dates I’ve included, I’ve written these observations as a sort of diary over the course of many months. It was sent out over that period of time as individual newsletters. The long gaps are accounted for in that I was either too busy or too disinterested to continue. That or I felt that there was nothing of consequence to write about. Then something would happen in town that I thought my friends back in Illinois or Iowa or my family out in California might enjoy reading about and I picked it up again. I poke some good-natured fun at my neighbors, but in reality, Maine is home to me now and I have come to appreciate and care for these hearty people who have survived for generations in this semi-hostile environment. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it and I also hope that it doesn’t ruffle too many feathers."

The loneliness and cruelty of Jane’s childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman’s quest for self-respect.
