À propos de cet audio

Agnes Grey is the daughter of Mr. Grey, a minister of modest means, and Mrs. Grey, a woman who left her wealthy family and married purely out of love. Mr. Grey tries to increase the family's financial standing, but the merchant he entrusts his money to dies in a wreck, and the lost investment plunges the family into debt. Agnes, her sister Mary, and their mother all try to keep expenses low and bring in extra money, but Agnes is frustrated that everyone treats her like a child. To prove herself and to earn money, she is determined to get a position as a governess. Eventually, she obtains a recommendation from a well-placed acquaintance, is offered a position, and secures her parents' permission. With some misgivings, she travels to Wellwood house to work for the Bloomfield family.

This is a story by the lesser-known Brontë sister, Anne. It is well-written, rich in detail and description. The main character, Agnes Grey, is a product of the Victorian times and the Northern England location. The story follows her experiences as a governess for two different upper-class families. The class system is clearly defined, and the author is less than flattering of the upper classes. Agnes, as well as the author, is a parson's daughter and has high moral standards. Occasionally, I felt she was too preachy. The story dragged at times due to overly descriptive passages, but that was the style of writing at the time. The happy-ever-after ending was somewhat predictable but satisfying. The story was well narrated and worth learning what life was like in those times.
