Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

167

This timeless novel highlights the abuse and neglect that the orphaned Jane Eyre faced while growing up.This story opens with Jane Eyre being shipped off to be cared for by her uncle Mr. Reed who lived at the Gateshead Hall. Her uncle was always kind to her but his wife, Sarah Reed was anything but. Sarah’s son John and Sarah’s two daughters also contributed to Jane’s torment. Jane was excluded from all family activities and found solace only in her books and dolls.One day John knocked her down and she tried to defend herself. This earned her a traumatic lock up in the room where her uncle died. At one point, she thought that she could see his ghost and this so terrified the poor child that an apothecary had to be called in. The kind man advised Sarah Reed to send Jane off to boarding school and she was subsequently sent to Lowood.Seen through Jane’s eyes, Lowood was only marginally better than Gateshead but at least she had friends there. The book will take you way back to the days of bumpy carriage rides and class discrimination. It is also a glimpse into some historical aspects of England centuries ago and the antiquated notions that were held at the time.Charlotte Bronte tells an amazing story about a woman who faces issues of respect in an era when women were not permitted to stand up to society. Eventually Jane finds an employer that supports her but the shadowy and ominous Mr. Rochester, hides a dreadful secret that threatens Jane’s happiness.

    This is so well narrated 💛
  • debhub
    Excellent especially the narration!
    I was hesitant to download this because Jane Eyre is my favorite book of all time and I’ve read it three times in print. But the narration was so good, I wasn’t even too bothered by the fact that at the beginning of every single chapter they had to give the author, narrator, and production company info. Still my favorite book and now I can say I have both read it with my eyes and my ears! :-)

    Simply Perfection
    Between Peter Yearsley, Andy Minter and Elizabeth Klett, it’s difficult to choose a favorite reader. Elizabeth is my favorite female voice for sure. She just brilliantly reads Jane Eyre to perfection. What a voice and acting talent with superb literary interpretation. I highly recommend.

    Beautiful
    This recording is clean, eloquent, and masterfully done. The accent of the reader is dazzling and her use of character voicings is splendid so as to communicate the differences in them well. Wonderful!
  • rmmc33
    Beautifully read
    This recording brought the already wonderful story to another level. The reader has a wonderful voice, inflected perfectly for each character. I hope I can find more books she has recorded.

    Thank you for the free audiobook
    Loved it. Great way to hear the story, so happy I found one that was free in podcast form to download and take with me
  • FiddlePlaya
    Beautiful!!!
    This book is remarkable! It is sometimes hard to follow because of the old vocabulary and some French quotes.... But I would recommend this book to any young adult or adult looking for a captivating story of a strong young woman's life and love struggles.

    Backwards
    Could you not organize it like this? I listen to podcasts from oldest episode to newest, the same way you would watch a season of a TV show. Why would I listen to a book backwards?
