    Résumé:

    Like her sister Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, Anne Brontë’s classic lays bare the vulnerable position of the governess in 19th century England. Let down by irresponsible parents, ill-treated by employers, Agnes’s one chance at happiness lies, of course, not in her own strength and smarts, but in finding a man to raise her up to her former society.
