Agnes Grey (Audible Audio Edition): Anne Brontë, Virginia Leishman, Recorded Books: Audible Books & Originals

Agnes Grey is a powerful and moving portrayal of life as a governess in 19th century Victorian England.

Written with unflinching realism, this landmark novel offers a sympathetic portrait of Agnes and a scathing indictment of her brutish and haughty employers.

Separated from her family and friends by many miles, paid little more than subsistence wages, Agnes stands alone - both in society at large and in a household where she is neither family member nor servant.

Narrated by Virginia Leishman with a first-person perspective, this audiobook provides a rare opportunity to hear the voice of a Victorian working woman.

With an listening time of 8 hours and 3 minutes, Agnes Grey is a must-listen for anyone interested in social history, feminism, or simply great storytelling.
