Its not something that one would see side by side to other works of Bronte sisters; Anne included. This book needs its own quiet corner when it relishes in its perfect heroine who is daughter of a minister who is facing financial troubles. 
 She becomes a governess to help her father and in the process discovers herself. She is coddled as a child and her first situation as a governess is a disaster. But she finds herself a new situation where she meets people, makes new friends and finally meets her beau. 
 Agnes Grey is nothing like heroines from other Bronte sisters novel and it isn't necessarily a bad thing but she remains absolutely flawless and perfect through out the story. Its probably Anne's way of defending herself and her position with respect to her sisters. 
 A lot of Anne is in Agnes Grey. The book is written in the form of memoir as Anne observes the families she work for and note social commentaries on them. 
 A quiet read and quite contradictory to her popular - tenant of.. novel.
