Swathi’s Reviews > Jane Eyre > Status Update

I think after Persuasion I've entered a 19th century English novel era. Jane Eyre hasn't been immediately compelling, though, because 10-year-old Jane Eyre is written with the words & thoughts of an adult, which feels off-putting (maybe just to a modern reader).

Also surprisingly this novel begins just like Harry Potter — orphanage, horrible cousins, boarding school — except with typhus instead of Lord Voldemort.
