I never expected to feel such great feelings for this book and I am so grateful for my indifference. Luckily I started the story blind to any spoiler and nothing could have prepared me for the ending. It was such a beautiful tale of love, yearning and some sort of agony.
The second to last chapter got me crying like a child, but every tear was happy for the forever that they got to experience together at last.
Long live Charlotte Brontë in my heart, rent free.

8.0

Charlotte's prose is full of color and allusion with a quip or reference at every corner. Jane is the character of the novel as she lives toe to toe with a cast of personalities. She is a sense of justice and self-determination. She is the creature in her house.

“The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself."

It's been a while since a book kept me up late into the night. Charlotte, you are a marvelous storyteller! But with that said, Wuthering Heights still remains my favorite Bronte novel - for the time being at least!
