In a sleepy little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive Pyncheon family. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family’s salvation—or its downfall.

Al anderhalve eeuw fascineert Jane Eyre lezers en literatuurkenners vragen zich nog steeds af waarom dit werk zo populair is. Zoals bij boeken die levendig blijven, bevat het verhaal meer dan alleen onverwachte wendingen van romantische episodes en dramatische elementen van de gotische roman. De tijd heeft de striktheid van het Victoriaanse tijdperk weggevaagd en de schandelijke gedragingen en opvattingen van de ongebonden heldin getemperd, over wie de schrijfster opmerkte: “Verwarren we conventie niet met moraal!” Het geheim van grote en breed gewaardeerde literatuur is moeilijk te definiëren, maar iets wordt ons wel onthuld door generaties enthousiaste lezers. We beseffen dat we een verzonnen verhaal lezen, terwijl de stem van de vertelster opmerkelijk echt klinkt, de emoties oprecht zijn en de gebeurtenissen explosief. Daarom is de strijd van de onverzettelijke en moedige heldin tegen haar onmenselijke voogd, de wrede omstandigheden in het internaat en de strikte sociale orde zo krachtig. Het onthult de persoonlijke ervaring van de schrijfster, de beleving van een gepest meisje na het verlies van haar ouders. En laten we de schrijfster niet kwalijk nemen dat in haar grote epische verhaal de liefde wrede tegenslagen, de ongunstige omstandigheden en de last van een vreselijk geheim overwint.
