Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, lives right in between the bright rom-com tone of Jane Austen's novels and the Gothic despair of Wuthering Heights. The novel is narrated by its heroine, Jane Eyre, an orphan despised by her extended family who grows up to be a quiet but clever young teacher. When she takes a post as governess to a wealthy little girl, she finds herself drawn to the brooding, blunt master of the house, Mr. Rochester. He's attracted to her too — but he's got a few secrets of his own.
