description: Charlotte Brontë's first novel, published in 1847, was a bestseller in its day and remains popular today. Jane is a plain, impoverished orphan who becomes governess to the ward of Mr. Rochester, the Byronic and enigmatic employer with whom she falls in love. This quintessential coming-of-age story is a stirring and satisfying tale that still has resonance for young women who are struggling to find the balance between romantic love and personal freedom.
