MY PICK
OF THE MONTH

Jane Eyre (1080 × 750 px)_edited.jpg

I think I've read this book three times now. I wrote an analytical part of my thesis on the use of first person perspective to create a sense of closeness to the main character--Jane Eyre--while maintaining suspense. This is difficult to achieve in first person past tense. But Charlotte Brontë does it! The language is beautiful, and the story is captivating, particularly once you get past Jane's childhood into her adult life. There is mystery, plot twist, love, and gobs of lovely foreshadowing. This is by far my favorite piece of classic literature!
