Bronte's finest novel.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was born in Yorkshire. As a child, she was sent to a boarding school, where two of her sisters died; afterwards, she was educated at home with her younger siblings, Emily, Branwell, and Anne. In adulthood, Charlotte worked as a governess and taught at a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the pseudonym Currer Bell, followed by Shirley (1848), Villette (1853), and The Professor (posthumously published in 1857). In 1854, Charlotte married her father's curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.

My godmother lived in a beautiful house in the clean and old town of Bretton. Her husband's family was based there.
