Synopsis

When young Agnes Grey’s family falls on hard financial times, she decides to take a job as a governess with the wealthy Bloomfield family, and then later the even-wealthier Murray family. But they are cruel and unkind, and with them Agnes is lonely isolated, and very aware of how vulnerable she is.   What Agnes wants is happiness and fulfillment, but are they out of reach for her?   Agnes Grey is Anne Brontë’s first novel and based on the author’s own experiences of the challenges faced by young women born without many opportunities.  

About Anne Bronte

Anne Bronte (1820-1849), a British novelist and poet, was the youngest member of the famous Bronte literary family. She wrote a volume of poetry with her sisters, Charlotte and Emily, entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, and she is the author of the novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Anne's two novels, written in a sharp and ironic style, are completely different from the romanticism followed by her more famous sisters. She wrote in a realistic, rather than a romantic style.
