  Jane Eyre is considered to be Charlotte Brontë's gothic masterpiece. It depicts the life of young orphan Jane, whose experiences of familial neglect produce an unmatched independence and bullet-proof inner resolve.  
  Things start off terribly. She is banished to Lowood School at the tender age of ten, and faces deprivation, disease and death. But against all odds she survives, and goes on to become a highly respected teacher. Things get easier then. But when her mentor leaves to get married, she realises it is time to forge a life of her own.  
  After much deliberation, she applies for the position of governess to the young ward of a broody and difficult Edward Rochester, and it's not long before he captures her heart and mind. But unbeknownst to her, Rochester is hiding a terrible secret - one which forces her to make a heartbreaking choice: remain with him at Thornfield and compromise the inner virtue she's built brick by brick, or leave and lose everything her heart aches for.  
  In this audiobook, all thirty eight heart-rending chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins.  
  Her passionate performance expertly captures Brontë's sensitive subject matter. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
  This is the sixth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection.  
  Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
  Soundtrack written and produced by Jean-Miles Carter.

  1908, Long Island: For Millie Turner, the young and beautiful wife of a powerful New York stockbroker, Rose Briar Hall—a gleaming edifice of white marble on the North Shore—is more than a home. Every lavish detail speaks of Charles Turner’s status and wealth, and its stylish interior is testament to Millie's sophistication. All that’s left is to prove her worthiness to be his bride. What better way than to throw a grand party for New York’s social elite? 
   
   
   
  After painstaking planning, the night of the event arrives and all is perfection—until Millie wakes to a cold, eerily quiet house, and a gray cloud where her memory should be. Can it be true that she has been in and out of consciousness for weeks, ever since the party took a terrifying turn? Millie recalls nothing. But her friends have shunned her, and it soon becomes clear that if she can't find out what really happened that night, much more than her reputation will be at risk . . . 
   
   
   
  As the house that promised so much happiness begins to feel more like a prison, Millie wonders whether a woman alone, even a wealthy one, can ever be entirely safe. And if she succeeds in finding the truth, will it bring relief, or shake her marriage, and her life, to the core?

  Embers & Water - The Prophet's Call

  What if prophecy didn’t stay in the clouds but walked a market lane at dawn—brushing spice dust from its sleeves, bargaining for figs, and telling the truth where children could overhear it? Embers & Water: The Prophet’s Call is that story: a fantasy-inflected, historically grounded novel inspired by the book of Isaiah—where the word of God doesn’t thunder from a safe distance but lands on streets, kitchens, and palace steps until people have to decide what to do next. 
  Your guide is Asahel ben Jeduthun, a temple singer and scribe with quick hands, a careful eye, and no taste for heroics. Through Asahel’s single, steady point of view, you’ll meet Isaiah son of Amoz—not as a statue or slogan, but as a man whose sentences interrupt parties, steady kings, and lift widows. Around them a city comes into focus: Miriam, who kneads bread and courage with the same hands; Eliab, a fig seller learning to love honest weights; Shira, a merchant’s daughter trading spectacle for substance; Reuben, a guard unlearning noisy strength; and Shebna, a climber whose carved ambitions can’t keep his name from shrinking. 
  This is fiction inspired by Scripture, not commentary disguised as a novel. Where the text speaks, the story follows; where the text is silent, the story supplies human detail that honors its direction. Expect a narrative with momentum—not oracle after oracle, but a clear arc: 
  A vineyard song freezes laughter in a noble’s courtyard. 
  A king at the aqueduct hears a sign he does not want. 
  A bonfire of household gods crackles in the square. 
  The Assyrian herald’s mockery under the wall meets a city’s disciplined silence. 
  Deliverance comes in a night without arrows. 
  A sundial walks backward because mercy says so. 
  A long season of comfort teaches a people to keep Sabbath, prove their scales, forgive debts, and welcome strangers. 
  And through it all, the shadow of a Servant appears—gentle, burden-bearing, strong enough to heal without spectacle.
