About Jane Eyre
An orphaned governess takes a position at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with the brooding Mr Rochester, who has a secret in the attic. First-person, gothic, feminist — far ahead of its time.
Why it works as an audiobook
Written in the first person ("Reader, I married him"), Jane’s voice is already an audiobook in print. The Thornfield chapters, with Bertha Mason’s laughter echoing down the halls, are best heard in headphones.
- Genre: Gothic Romance
- Themes: gothic romance, governess, dark academia, female bildungsroman
- Approximate length: 19 hours
- Source: Project Gutenberg #1260 (public domain)
