Jenni Murray and guests invite you to share the hour that no woman can afford to miss. Serial: Jane Eyre by CHARLOTTE BRONTE abridged in 19 episodes by ELIZABETH BRADBURY
Read by Juliet Stevenson (1) 'There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.' Thus, in a misleadingly tranquil fashion, begins one of the most gloriously passionate novels in the English language.
Jane Eyre 's love for the saturnine Mr Rochester is uncompromisingly and unmistakeably as physical as it is spiritual.
