Jane Eyre

By: Charlotte Brontë

Narrated by: Alice Johnson

Orphaned into the authority of her Aunt Reed and subjected to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre still manages to hold on to her integrity. She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield and falls in love with the brooding and mysterious Mr. Rochester; but there will be quite a few complications in the way of their happiness. This is a classic and enduring masterpiece, multilayered in meaning and showing the listener many of the challenges facing women during the Victorian era.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

There's a reason it's a Classic

Classic English literature. Describes the culture of the time and tells a story of angst, struggle,losses and gains. I found little if anything predictable the first time through. Subsequent reads/listenings of the story are, if not surprising in the storyline, still entertaining enough to hold my interest. Charlotte is the Bronte sister who gave us characters we came to know and love and care about.

Jane Eyre

This has book has been pure joy for this reader. Written and narrated so beautifully. No words could convey the beauty of this book. Special thanks to Alice Johnson for her narrative excellence. She brought the story alive for me.

excellent recording

Charlotte Bronte's novel is always a pleasure to revisit; however, it was only when I listened to the masterful recording by Alice Johnson that the beauty and poetry of Bronte's writing was truly apparent. So enjoyable to listen to!

DON'T BOTHER

The narrator keeps announcing the book title and chapter number like a very BAD Libravox recording. This belongs on YouTube as a free audiobook. The fact that Audible includes this is disturbing to say the least. DO BETTER, AUDIBLE! THIS IS PAINFUL!
