Jane Eyre review - A classic tale that bristles with emotion and insight

WHEN introducing young people to those classic novels which have been discussed, adored and adapted countless times, it’s vital to look for that which relates it to those readers.

Whether studying it for school, or reading for pleasure, the story of Jane Eyre maintains in every publication and every reading, an ability to earnestly connect to the emotions and turmoil of growing up even while her exact experiences are more distant.

Its brilliant and passionate responses to the twists of life and descriptions of the greatest highs and lows of emotion are what make it relevant to young adults in the past, present and future.
