One of her six favorite books, as told to the Daily Express:

JANE EYRE by Charlotte Brontë

I read this at school and felt sympathy with everything Jane thought. Rochester was a bit gloomy but very attractive. I identified with the poor governess-type who strives after the heart of a dark lord: then I married one myself.
