September's Middletown Book for Discussion: Jane Eyre (Sept. 28)

 

​

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, September 28.  Our title is Charlotte Bronte's classic Jane Eyre.  Here is a brief summary of this mid-19th century novel, published by Bronte under the pen name "Currer Bell":

"The story of a plain and penniless orphan who accepts a job as governess at Thornfield Hall and soon finds herself in love with her melancholy employer, Mr. Edward Rochester, a man with a terrible secret."  

Here is where you can find the book (note: our delivery service among Ohio libraries is extremely slow at the moment.  But, the movement of books within the Miami system or within an individual public library's system appears to be moving as fast as normal):

• There are several copies available through Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio.  
  
• Amazon has the paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On August 31st the members of the group discussed The Paris Library, and also shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:
