Naxos Audiobooks releases a new unabridged audiobook of Agnes Grey:
Anne Brontë
Agnes Grey
Read by Rachel Bavidge
6 CDs | Running Time: 7h 34m
ISBN: 978-962-634-128-5
unabridged

From its opening sentences Agnes Grey introduces a heroine who is honest, perceptive and charming. Unfortunately, the Bloomfields, who engage her as a governess, are rather less appealing, and the incarnation of the suppressed cruelties and hypocrisies of the Victorian age. When Agnes moves to a marginally less alarming family, one of her charges sets out to disrupt her only romantic hope. Critical, satirical, direct, and honest, Agnes Grey is a fine reflection of its author. Find out more about Agnes Grey below.
