Publisher's summary

Follow along with the lifelong adventures of Jane Eyre in this InAudio unabridged presentation of Charlotte Bronte’s timeless classic.

Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre was at the forefront of first-person narrative storytelling and is beloved for its ability to put someone in a fictional character’s head in a setting that, while realistic, also has fantasy and Gothic elements as well. In this novel, listeners follow the perspective and life of of Jane Eyre, a woman who faces a difficult childhood, harsh schooling in adolescence, and an eventful adulthood full of hardships and heartbreak, but triumphs and romance as well. Listeners will love hearing the adventures of Jane throughout her life as she grows up and experiences the world.

With strong themes of classism, individualism, feminism, and a strong sense of morality, Jane Eyre is an important piece of classic English literature and remains impactful to a modern audience.

Dreadful narration of a classic.

I've loved Jane Eyre since I was a teenager, and I get something new from it every time I revisit. I was so pleased to find an unabridged audio book.
But the narration of this version was incompetent and distracting. The reader mispronounced many words, particularly changing which syllable she stressed. She paused in peculiar places, changing the meaning of the sentences. These issues continued throughout the book, never improving, which means that the production crew was not doing it's job, either.
I don't understand enough French or German to critique those sections, and I realize it's difficult to find a narrator who can read all three languages, but they should have been able to find someone capable in English!
