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.
