I'm kind of shocked I'd never read this (at least as far as I remember), but am glad I finally did. Everybody who messed with my girl Jane Eyre can suck it; she's a queen. I love how sassy she is, and can appreciate how shocking the character must've been at the time it was written. I agree with other reviews I've read that said this is not a romance. Rather, it's not "just" a romance; it's a Gothic novel set in the moors of rural England. Gorgeous and atmospheric.
