Manga Classics: Jane Eyre by Crystal S. Chan, Charlotte Brontë

4.0

---

Jane Eyre tells the coming of age story of its titular character, following her life as an orphan at boarding school to becoming the governess at Thornfield Hall. Despite being written in the 19th Century, the prose is clear and easy to understand. What makes the book so interesting is that Jane is an incredibly strong and independent person. She refuses to be pressured and always stands her ground. Despite the hardships she's put through, she never loses confidence. Instead, she always grows from her experiences and strives to be better. I love how she addresses the reader directly as though she's telling her story to a friend.
