Jane Eyre: The Graphic Novel, Quick Text

Jane Eyre is plain, determined, and intelligent. Orphaned and poor, she is adopted by her Aunt and Uncle Reed, but after Uncle Reed’s death, her unpleasant aunt sends her away to a grim charity school. There, Jane continues her harsh upbringing but receives the education that finally frees her.

Once old enough, Jane becomes a teacher and takes the role of governess in a large manor house, where she falls in love with her employer. But Rochester is hiding a secret that, when revealed, forces Jane to choose between following her head and her heart.
