2. Jane Eyre

Auntie Di appears: a hard liner, wreathed in cigarette smoke. Time to dip into the pages of Jane Eyre... Read by Lydia Leonard.

Sally Bayley recalls how a strange home life made her bond with characters from books.

One night, an aunt called Di appears. She will come to live with them in Sussex and is the aunt 'who spoke gobbledygook'. Oh dear!

Time, therefore, to dip into the pages of Jane Eyre.
