Every twists and turns of the plot filled me with extreme emotions. As I have read the story I feel like I am a part of it and that I have known these characters by heart. I cry when they are doleful, happy when they are delighted, and miserable when they are broken. When I have finally read the conclusion I felt like I have lost a friend, a companion to take me away from the stressful reality and amuse me with its tales. This classic will forever be stamped in my heart ㅡ and never shall I forget it.

About the author

Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816 in Haworth, Yorkshire. When she grew up, she became a teacher (later a private governess). In 1846 she pseudonymously published a book by herself and her sisters, Emily and Anne, which sold only two copies. Undaunted, Charlotte completed The Professor, which remained unpublished until after her death. But a kind note from one publisher encouraged her to finish Jane Eyre. In 1848, tragedy struck--her brother and two sisters died. Despite bouts of depression, she managed to write Shirley and Villette. Still, she never overcame her grief over the loss of her sisters and, beset by ill-health, she died in 1855.
