Jane is still endearing despite her Victorian sense of propriety, but I don't think some elements of this novel stand the test of time. The romance didn't really work that well for me, but I really enjoyed the coming-of-age elements of the story.
Graphic: Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Abandonment, Colonisation, and Classism
Minor: Ableism
