Synopsis

Agnes vive con su familia de clase media, sus padres y su hermana mayor Maria. Su padre es clerigo y su madre, que pertenecia a un nivel social superior al de su esposo, es una mujer vital, energica y de caracter. Viven felices y en armonia hasta que una inversion fallida hace que la situacion economica de la familia se vea seriamente afectada. Tras la oposicion familiar inicial, finalmente Agnes logra que se le permita trabajar de institutriz- le gustan los ninos y se ve capaz de desempenar correctamente su trabajo- y se instala con su primera familia, los Bloomfield, que no resultaran lo que ella esperaba y con los que no logra encajar. Luego vendran los Murray, de mayor rango. Alli conocera a Edward Weston, cura ayudante del vicario de la localidad. El ostracismo en el que vive con los Murray se hace evidente. Rosalie, la coqueta hija mayor de la familia, no le pondra las cosas nada faciles... La vida no parece sonreirle precisamente.

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.

A brilliant Brontë, as always - historically fascinating in terms of examining the role of governesses in the 19th century, and a thoroughly moving love story besides. Thoughts on rereading - I think I enjoyed this even more. A really interesting, engaging, subtle little story.......more
