England, the United Kingdom. She is a sort of nanny or aide de-estate to coin a title on the large estate of Mr. Rochester. Rochester starts out as a kind of heavy character ( he was played by Orson Welles in one film version) but mellows as the plot develops. It has its overtones of mystery and suspense. It was one of the first novels, as distinct from Fairy Tales and fantasies to have a strong woman female lead character.

The novel is structured around five separate locations, all supposedly in northern England: the Reed family's home at Gateshead, the wretched Lowood School, Rochester's manor house Thornfield, the Rivers family's home at Moor House, and Rochester's rural retreat at Ferndean.
