Lady Edith and her publisher.
As with all story plots, certain elements creep up again and again. Edith finds her publisher has a personal history, one connected with Charlotte Bronte's famous plot line.
Jane Eyre is a gothic romance, filled with enigmas, old houses, and fires in the middle of the night. Without ruining the spoilers, the best way to summarize its story is to note that a penniless governess comes to Thornfield Hall and uncovers its secrets, both of the house and the man who runs the estate. Just like any Bronte sister story, it is perfect to watch on a damp foggy night, curled up with a cup of tea and a blanket inside. In 2011, a film-length version was released with Michael Fassbender, Mia Wasikowska and Dame Judy Dench. In 2006, the BBC released a version with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens, which will take most of your evening but leaves out few details (plus Georgie Henley of the Chronicles of Narnia series makes a perfect mini Jane). Of course, if you want to read the original novel, it can be found on any classics shelf at Barnes and Noble.
