Jane Eyre
By Charlotte Brontë
Narrated by Robin Siegerman, Blaise Doran, Graham Scott, Mai Ling Turner, Denis Daly, Alexandra Lee Smith and Jen Smith

There, Jane and the master, Edward Rochester, fall in love. A wedding is planned. But the ceremony is interrupted by a claim that Rochester is already married....
Jane flees over the moor. She spends the little money she has saved, and finds herself homeless and starving in an unfamiliar town. Jane is taken in by the Rivers, who nurse her back to health, and an alternative future begins to unfold. But the voice of Rochester continues calling to her....
