Agnes Grey, daughter of a clergyman fallen on hard times, takes a post as a governess to help her family. With the Bloomfield and Murray families she discovers the harshness and isolation of women who worked in other people's houses in Victorian England, and the class and gender limitations of the era.

A read for those who enjoy Victorian classics and for students of English literature.
