Heel lang gelden gelezen, dus hoe ik het vond weet ik niet meer zo goed. Ik dacht wel aardig, vandaar de 7. Nu geregistreerd voor de "kleuren-release".

I found this book on the book table during the BX meeting in Arnhem. A very nice edition (Oxford University Press, hardback )

Concerned for her family’s financial welfare and eager to expand her own horizons, Agnes Grey takes up the position of governess, the only respectable employment for an unmarried woman in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, Agnes cannot anticipate the hardship, humiliation, and loneliness that await her in the brutish Bloomfield and haughty Murray households. Drawn from Anne Brontë’s own experiences, Agnes Grey depicts the harsh conditions and class snobbery that governesses were often forced to endure.

I liked the book well enough, although sometimes it is a bit 'preachy'. But you would expect that form a vicar's daughter, wouldn't you.
