"Charlotte Brontë's great masterpiece of English prose has lost nothing over the passing of the time since it was written. The story of a young girl who battles against all the odds to find love and become successful, in spite of all the challenges of class, poverty and society, facing her. Written during the Victorian era, its lessons are still relevant for women and girls today! This version has all the French and German passages narrated in English for the easier understanding of the modern reader."
