The book we will be reading for June is Charlotte Bronte's classic, Jane Eyre. A few months ago several of us were lucky enough to go to the screening of a new movie production of the book. We had a fantastic time. The movie was beautifully filmed, and it gave me the itch to read it again!!
"Charlotte Bronte's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, and her arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine--one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as 'the masterwork of great genius,' Jane Eyre is still regarded, over a century later, as one of the finest novels in English literature."
