Born on April 21, 1816, in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, Charlotte Bront worked as a teacher and governess, before collaborating on a book of poetry with her two sisters, Emily and Anne, who were writers as well. In 1847, Bront published the semi-autobiographical novel-Jane Eyre. Her other novels included Shirley and Villette.She married Arthur Nicholls in 1854, but she died a year later,on March 31, 1855, during her pregnancy.

Quotations: Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.

I have chosen this book because it is one of the most important English novels, which presents a very realistic view on the life of those times. I strongly recommend this novel as it is a book of those that you could never leave from hands without finishing it.It is a book where love always win, where love is everything.
