This book couldn't get any steamier, and elusive if it was written today! It is very sensual and had great usage of imagery. It drags you in uses your senses and captures your heart with the tension between Jane and Edward! I so want to jump into the book and knock him out when he plays her. She had a hard life that is hard to imagine and yet who doesn't love a love story? Everyone. until it ends the way it did! This book is full of symbols including fire/ice standing for the ever-changing feelings. This classic romance novel shows jealously of Blanche over Jane. It introduces you to the French language through little Adele who is such a sweetie. It talks about history of Victorian era and how women were back then. Although filled with life and death, it brings about a classic sure to be a hit for centuries to come!

I absolutely loved this book. At times it was a slow build with lengthy descriptions that paint a perfect picture of the settings and characters, and at others there was riveting drama. Sometimes both.
And so well written was the connection between Jane and Mr. R that I found myself intensely rooting for an 18-year-old and a 38-year old to get together!
In the last few chapters I was so enraptured, so desperate to know what came next, that I found myself frantically reading even while I walked home from work! The vocabulary and allusions required a lot of stopping to look things up at times, but that's the only real downside.
