Vanessa and Lauren reach Ferndean in chapters 36 and 37 of Jane Eyre. This week we discuss Bronte's depiction of disability, Bertha's powerful exit from the novel, and how gossip spreads in the wake of tragedy. --As we approach the end of this book, we’d very much like to keep the show going and read Pride and Prejudice next!
