Description

Decidida a lograr su independencia económica y a ayudar en su casa, Agnes Grey, la hija menor de una familia venida a pique, se coloca como institutriz en la casa de la familia Bloomfield. Su juventud e inexperiencia, así como la crueldad de los niños con quienes le toca lidiar y la frialdad de sus padres, son una difícil piedra de toque. Pero su perseverancia la llevará a cambiar de casa en busca de mejores perspectivas. Con sus nuevos empleadores, los Murray, las condiciones tampoco son fáciles, pero Agnes, poco a poco, se abrirá camino.

I first read this book as a teenager, and I barely remembered anything—except that she marries a priest at the end, which was true.I wasn’t expecting anything grand or breathtaking, and that’s exactly what it delivers: a quiet, realistic account of a young governess and her daily struggles with her pupils. It’s very much “normal life,” and definitely not Jane Eyre with its passionate confessions and dramatic twists.Even so, I enjoyed it. There’s something charming about its simplicity and honesty, and I can see myself rereading it again in the future.
