Jane Eyre

After a bleak childhood, a young woman becomes a governess at a remote estate, where she grows close to its brooding master. Their connection offers the promise of happiness, but unsettling secrets and difficult choices threaten to disrupt their fragile romance.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like brooding period romances, gothic atmosphere, and restrained emotion, especially films such as The Painted Veil or Pride & Prejudice; Not for you if you prefer brisk pacing or expansive character detail.
