 My first audiobook (Spotify version) and I couldn’t have chosen better! It feels like a classic English novel, rich with cultural references, though also steeped in the classism and racism of its time. Jane is a wonderfully ahead-of-her-time heroine, her unbreakable spirit showing how suffering shapes resilience and identity. 

My only gripe is that midway through, the story veers off so sharply it feels like starting a new book, which was a bit tiring. Still, everything does come back together, but in a rather rushed way.
