Agnes Grey tells of the trials and silent agonies suffered by a gentle governess, commenting on the families she lives with and yet is not a part of - the vulgar Bloomfields and the worldly, grasping Murrays - all the while quietly yearning for Mr. Weston, the curate of the parish. Outwardly it may seem to lack the excitement of the story of Jane Eyre, Agnes' literary sister, but this novel positively sings with quiet happiness, warmth, and rewarded patience. Edward Weston may not be Jane's Mr. Rochester, but I like him infinitely better.
