Agnes Grey

I finished a book last night that was recommended on my friend, Elena’s, blog. "Agnes Grey." It was written by Anne Bronte of the Bronte sisters.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1420925512/qid=1153148002/sr=8-14/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i14_xgl14/102-5996866-4240110?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

I think if you are a female and generally like to read you would like this book. As Elena wrote, it eventually becomes a romance with a very godly and Biblical perspective.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the book was the juxtaposition of Agnes Grey’s life as a poor but contented girl working as a governess and that of her wealthy, beautiful and extremely vain charge who eventually ends up in wretched circumstances.

Read it.
