Descrizione
A hard life is apparently Jane’s destiny: left an orphan, raised by a stern, unkind aunt with three mean cousins and sent to a school with harsh rules and little to eat... However, her desire to find her own place in the world will lead her to independence, love and family, but not without difficulties to overcome. A new job, jealousy, threats, love, proposals, disappointment, friendship and forgiveness will make Jane’s dream come true.This Victorian novel is a milestone in English literature and well explores the thoughts and actions of a young girl of the time – but at the same time remarkably contemporary – who struggles between love and passion, independence and conscience in an attempt to find her place in society.

Il destino di Jane è apparentemente una vita dura: rimasta orfana, cresciuta da una zia severa con tre cugini prepotenti e mandata in una scuola con regole rigide e poco da mangiare…
Ma il suo desiderio di trovare il proprio posto nel mondo la condurrà all’indipendenza, all’amore e a alla famiglia, non senza difficoltà da superare.
Un nuovo lavoro, gelosia, minacce, amore, proposte di matrimonio, delusione, amicizia e perdono aiuteranno Jane a realizzare il suo sogno.
