Wish-list Wednesday is a book blog hop hosted
by Dani at Pen to Paper Blog where we will post about one book
per week that has been on our wish-list for some time, or just added (it's
entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wish-list and onto our
wonderful shelves.
Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity.
She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield, falls in love with Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than Victorian society traditionally allowed.
With a heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Bronte's innovative and enduring romantic novel continues to engage and provoke readers ...
I really have no other excuse to why I haven’t read it. I
really just want to read it because it’s a classic and everyone seems to love
it. So, I’m just going to stop here so I don’t embarrass myself anymore. ;-)
I haven't heard of this one :) Sounds interesting though. I don't really take to well to reading classics or anything. It reminds me of those dreaded literature classes in high school!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WW :)

I think is the same I haven't picked any of them up yet!
DeleteI read Jane Eyre ages ago and remembered almost nothing about it, then decided to pick it up again last year and loved it! I have a friend who rereads it every year or so... from what I hear, there's a "cult" of Jane Eyre lovers out there! Give it a try -- you may be pleasantly surprised!
ReplyDeleteWow. I can't believe you never read it! I have two copies of the book, and watched the movie. At some point in life I was so into this book! You SHOULD read it!
ReplyDeleteOh I also really want to read this! My friend said this was really good and also many people loves this book as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll get this book soon =)
That sounds like a great idea! I didn't even know there was a movie.. Show's how much I follow classics! Having seen the movie I'm sure will help get through it easier.
