I finished Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte a few days ago. And eh, I loved it!
Well, if I begin like this-you know what to expect! Still, going ahead-the writer has no doubts fascinated me with her simple yet effective language and techniques. I am all ready to get another book by the same author.
Jane Eyre- a character so simply drawn-the book traces the life of this girl called Jane and as I finished it, I was definitely spellbound. There is nothing exaggerated all through, be her candid nature as a small girl or her musings upon love at 18. The simplicity of the story is unparalleled, at times indeed the tale is predictable but the character of Jane may never allow you to be 100% sure.
I must say that book makes you believe in love and goodness of heart. Thus, for the lovelorns-don't give it a try for it may once again reinstate the very 'hope'. As I was googling on Jane Eyre-I came to know there is a movie as well. Hoping to lay my hands on it soon!
(Note- Many of us are trying our hands at short stories-many are authors, so if you feel a knick for a short story, check this competition. I might be trying my hands too :P. And NO, I ain't associated with them. )
