The novel is set somewhere in the north of England. Jane's childhood at Gateshead Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations and oppression; her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family, during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St John Rivers, proposes to her. Will she or will she not marry him?
I am in absolute awe of this author. I don't care for the poems/stanza type works, but the stories are phenomenal! My favorite was Silently and Very Fast, but I must have bookmarked over 10 of them.
To give you an idea of how amazing she is, I had 130+ highlights. So. Good.
