Charlene and Mike tackle the very short but impactful first chapter of Jane Eyre - contemplating the introduction to our young heroine, and musing on the “ugly appearance” of John Reed. We also talk about the kinds of books 10 year old Jane is reading versus the books we read at her age.  (Spoiler - they are very different!)

Our theme song is “You Live In My Heart” by Zakhar Valaha.

Audio clips are from the 1973 BBC production of Jane Eyre starring Sorcha Cusack and Michael Jayston.

Charlene and Mike make their introduction to the listeners and discuss their history with Jane Eyre, and the plan for this new podcast. Every week, a new episode will discuss one chapter of the novel, deep-diving into the themes, characters, and emotional impact. We’ll try not to spoil plot points that have not come up in the chapters we are discussing, but no guarantees! We are just having fun re-exploring this book together.  Join us on this “Eyre” Adventure as we celebrate one of the greatest novels ever written!
