About this listen

Anne Brontë's novel was published in 1847. The writer released it under the pseudonym Acton Bell and drew upon her own experiences working as a governess.

The youngest of the famous Brontë sisters beautifully portrays the broad social background of 19th-century England: parents' approach to education and child-rearing, the behind-the-scenes of marriages of convenience, and family relationships across different levels of the social ladder.

Forced by her family's poor financial situation, Agnes Grey takes a job as a governess. Young, full of hope, and eager to broaden her own horizons, she wishes to win the favor of her employers and their children.

However, her new charges turn out to be difficult and spoiled, while their parents are demanding, haughty, and unpleasant. Will a change of position bring her more happiness? Will she find the love she longs for in a new place.
