  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.

  Inheriting a home near two eligible bachelors seems like a dream come true. But which man deserves her trust—or her heart? Kate Kingston wants nothing more than to instill her love of art into the hearts of her pupils, but when a solicitor arrives to inform her that her uncle died and she inherited his estate, she is hesitant to leave the comfortable life she has developed. Encouraged by her friends to embrace the new adventure, Kate uproots her life and travels to Larkfield where she must face the demons from her past—and work to replace the spoiled memories from her childhood with happier ones. The only problem: she doesn't know the first thing about running a large country estate. When an injured shoulder sends Peter Evans home from the war, he finds that his younger brother Martin is far from ready to give up his authority over the family estate, and even less willing to leave old quarrels in the past. But when a beautiful lady moves in next door and requests help in learning to manage her estate, Peter is willing to offer his knowledge—and his heart. If only Martin didn't have his sights set on the new neighbor, as well. But when trouble finds the inhabitants of Larkfield, few people believe the misdeeds are more than a run of bad luck. Convinced that someone is trying to hurt her friend, Kate must track the culprit, and she can't do it alone. But how can she know which brother to trust? The second book in the Seasons of Change series, A Forgiving Heart is a stand-alone novel.
