Description

Classic Victorian literature, a touching and at the same time realistic account of Agnes Grey’s difficult fate—Charlotte Brontë’s celebrated “Jane Eyre” predecessor.

The debut novel by Anne, the youngest of the famous sisters, is to a certain extent autobiographical: just like the writer herself, the main heroine Agnes is forced to work as a governess in order to help her impoverished family. Along her path, Agnes encounters many characters whom she describes incisively and with biting wit: arrogant and greedy employers, unbearable children, and pious neighbors. Yet, despite everything, our heroine manages to preserve her inner core and her devotion. And her meeting with a young clergyman, Mr. Weston, becomes fateful for the young idealist.
