Charlotte Brontë was born in England in 1816. She and her two sisters all became famous authors.

Jane Eyre was an orphan who lived with her cousins and her wealthy aunt, Mrs Reed. The family
was unkind and they did not want Jane to live with them. Jane was sent away to school. Jane was
happy to go to Lowood School, but the owner, Mr Brocklehurst, was very cruel, so the students lived
unhappy lives.
Finally, cruel Mr Brocklehurst was told to leave the school. Six years later, Jane became a teacher
at Lowood School. After two years, Jane decided to apply for a job as a governess. Governesses
were often employed by rich families. She started to teach a young French girl called Adèle at a big
house called Thornfield Hall. The owner of the house was Mr Rochester. Jane enjoyed her new job
and became friends with Mrs Fairfax, the kind housekeeper.
One night, there was a fire at Thornfield Hall. Jane saved Mr Rochester from the fire. He said that

understand, but she thought that there was a secret in the house. Jane decided to leave Thornfield
Hall, but she could not forget it.
