Jane Eyre tells of an orphaned girl who is shuffled from a life with cruel relatives to an oppressive boarding school, from which she launches a career as a governess at Thornhill, where the master of the house is hiding a terrible secret. Wuthering Heights is the gothic story of the ill-fated love between Catherine and Heathcliff set against the bleakness of the moors of northern England. A tale of the destructive force of passion, it has become the quintessential story of thwarted love.

Charlotte Bronte (21 April 1816 - 31 March 1855) was the eldest of the adult Bronte sisters and is best known for her work, "Jane Eyre". Emily Bronte (1818-48) is perhaps best known for her one, strikingly innovative novel but was also a gifted and intense poet.

This book contains the following story:

Jane Eyre
Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr. Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night. The relationship between the heroine and Mr. Rochester is only one episode, albeit the most important, in a detailed fictional autobiography in which the author transmuted her own experience into high art. In this work, the plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance but possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit, and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer, and the rigid social order that circumscribes her life and position. This classic story shows how a young woman can overcome adversity and find true happiness. It is a story of passionate love, travail, and final triumph.
