This is easily my favorite “classic” novel. Man, I love Jane Eyre. She’s truly hilarious, witty, clever, and knows herself thoroughly. Mr. Rochester is so complex and interesting - the very definition of a morally gray love interest. This particular audiobook version really brings forward a lot of the wit and humor as well as the less-melodramatic emotional humanity that often gets lost in the gothic mystery of most adaptations. 10/10 would recommend.
