About this listen

A NEGLECTED SECOND SON, Edward Rochester struggles in the shadow of his elder brother, whose jealous intrigues poison everything he touches.

When Edward's long-cherished love and hopes for happiness with a childhood sweetheart are crushed by those intrigues, he is devastated. To blot out the bitter failure, Edward takes the unwelcome path laid out by his father and flees England.

Certain he will never return, he embarks upon what becomes a fifteen year odyssey driven by the hope he might one day find such a love again. But when one disappointment after another weighs him down until he is resigned to a loveless existence, Edward finds himself returning to the family home he had once forsaken, never imagining that what awaits him will change his life--forever.

Based on a friend's recommendation, I recently listened to "Before Jane Eyre" by R.Q. Bell, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.

This is a beautifully crafted novel that captivated me more than I expected. It weaves a rich, immersive story that kept me engaged from start to finish. Bell’s writing is exquisite, featuring vivid prose and well-developed characters that truly bring the world of that era to life.

The narrative flows seamlessly, blending emotion, intrigue, and historical allure. I always wanted to listen more than the time allowed.

One of the standout features is Dallin Bradford's exceptional narration. His storytelling is phenomenal, capturing every nuance of the characters’ emotions and accents with impressive skill. Bradford’s voice is warm, engaging, and perfectly paced, enhancing outstanding writing. His performance made me feel like I was experiencing the story alongside the characters.

If you're seeking a captivating and well-written novel, "Before Jane Eyre" is a must-listen, especially with its exceptional narration. I highly recommend this gem to any audiobook enthusiast! I hope the sequel, "Finding Jane Eyre," is released soon on Audible, with Mr. Bradford as the narrator.

Engaging storytelling and captivating audio.
