Jane Eyre: a New Audiobook Narrated by Thandie Newton

To celebrate the week of Charlotte Bronte’s 200th birthday, Audible Studios is releasing a new audiobook version of Jane Eyre. It is beautifully performed by Thandie Newton, who brings just the right intimate quality to Bronte’s classic story of the brave, independent, and honest young governess, which had an innovative examination of the lead character’s emotional and moral life that was enormously influential.

The story has been filmed many times. My favorite stars Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles.
