Bookroo's summary
Agnes Grey, thrust into the role of a governess by her family's misfortune, faces unruly children and dismissive employers. As she navigates this isolating world, Agnes seeks to restore her lost honor and find her place. Will she overcome the challenges of her new life, or will the weight of her circumstances prove too great? This Victorian tale of resilience and self-discovery invites readers to explore the trials and triumphs of a young woman determined to shape her destiny.
From the publisher
Part of our collection of Young Adult Classics, a Victorian coming-of-age story. I had been seasoned by adversity, and tutored by experience, and I longed to redeem my lost honour in the eyes of those whose opinion was more than that of all the world to me. Agnes Grey is forced to become a governess due to her family’s circumstances, but struggles with the reality of disobedient children, disdainful employers and an isolated existence. Written from Anne’s experience, this is a truly personal and moving coming-of-age story.
