Amazon Books: 10 romance novels to read for Valentine’s Day
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
If you’re looking for a good classic romance, look no further than Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre follows title character Jane as she grows up in an orphanage and eventually goes to work for Mr. Rochester as his governess. The two fall in love over their mutual love for academics, however, on their wedding day a secret is revealed that drives Jane away. Of course, it wouldn’t be a romance if they stayed apart for good, and the two are eventually reunited.
Set in the English moors in a large Gothic mansion, this book, originally published in 1847, stands the test of time and doesn’t feel like it’s too far removed from today. The characters are easy to relate to, and the love story is just as powerful.
