Overview
When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meager income and assert her independence. But Agnes's enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr. Weston, the sober young curate. Anne Brontë's first novel, which draws on her own experiences, offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open to them in Victorian society.

Down-To-Earth and Really Relatable Book, Must Read Classic
Emily H. - 6 years 3 months agoAmazing book, I read it because I've read tons of other Anne Bronte books, and it did not disappoint. Truly is a timeless tale, and I love how this author tells stories about characters who seem to be regular, average people going through life. It makes the books so relatable and fun to read. #SummerReading
