As a penniless orphan, Jane Eyre endures a dismal childhood at the hands of her callous aunt, and her adolescent transition to boarding school provides little relief. But despite such adversity, she manages to transcend the social strictures of the nineteenth century, maturing into a confident and independent woman. Jane experiences true friendship, even love, until the revelation of a terrible secret casts dark clouds on the lives of everyone around her.
