Charlotte Bronte was a famous English poet and novelist of the 19th century. She was the eldest among her three sisters whose novels became an absolute classic of literature (English). Jaye Eyre is one of her very special novels which is believed to be inspired by a real-life story. Although in modern times, it is seen as a fictional classic. The novel Jane Eyre is narrated in audio format by Thandie Newton. The performance was awesome and it made that old classic novel sound so fresh. Villette is another classic novel by Charlotte Bronte which is available in audio format as well.
This classic by Charlotte Bronte is a very early exploration of the independence of women in the time of the mid-19th century. All this was explored through the life of Jane Eyre from her early childhood as an orphan and her experience in Thornfield Hall, England as a governess. Jane met the mysterious and quite complex man, Mr. Rochester, at Thornfield.
She shared a very complicated relationship with him that forced her to resolve the contradictory passions of religious piety and romantic love. All the experiences and that journey from then onwards are worthy of knowing. Not just Charlotte in writing but Thandie Newton in audiobook also managed to draw out the depth and intimacy of Jane, which was all set in a very restraint era.
The audio version of Jane Eyre became the winner of the Earphones Award as well. Thandie Newton gave a magnificent and delightful performance of this absolute classic. She was excellent in delivering the voice of Jane Eyre right from her childhood to adulthood with sheer elegance.
