In Victorian society it was a mark of high status for women not to take up paid employment. I almost used the term work in the last sentence, but in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries while the term work did have a meaning for women, it was the word commonly used for needlework, which was seen as something fit for them to occupy their time. Any gentlewoman forced by circumstance - or choice - to earn her own living could find herself in unpleasant circumstances, her ambivalent position reflected in her social isolation, often low wages, varying treatment and uncertainty as to future prospects. Anne Bronte draws on her own experience as a governess, one of the few careers open to gentlewomen at this time, to highlight the plight of these women through the fictional character of Agnes Grey. Agnes Grey decides to become a governess after an unlucky financial speculation causes hardship to her family. While she wants to help, she also sees in the opportunity to leave home a chance to assert her own independence and break away from her status as the baby of the family. Finding work first with the Bloomfield family (containing what sounds like the children from Hell) and later with the Murray family, Agnes struggles to assert her own authority in the wake of poor parenting and over-indulged children. Her actions are constantly over-ruled and misinterpreted. Even her budding romance with the curate Mr Weston is threatened by the cruelty of her beautiful, but coquettish, pupil Rosalie Murray. This episode reveals how little authority Agnes was permitted to have, even over her supposed "charges", who seemingly could boss her around with impunity. Agnes is surprised by her lack of status in the Murray household. When Mr Weston asks her what she thinks of the daughters of the Green family, Agnes has to reply that she has never spoken to them, despite the amount of time they spend in the company of her own charges. Neither do the crowd of suitors surrounding Rosalie ever acknowledge her. The closest she comes to friendship (besides Mr Weston) is with the poor whom she reads to and cares for as part of her percieved Christian duties. They are not her social equals. Agnes Grey is Anne Bronte's critique of the mistreatment of women, particularly of the vulnerable. The novel is also a strike against the materialism of Victorian society. Agnes's ambiguous position in the household is one reason for her lack of success in imparting virtues like empathy to her pupils. Also, of the marriages portrayed in the book those which were made for material reasons all seem to be unhappy, whereas those made for love all turn out to be successful. While the novel lacks the sensationalism (and perhaps the depth) of Jane Eyre, I found Agnes Grey well-paced and absorbing. The moral language and beliefs in the book may put off some modern readers, but they also reflect the reforming nature of the novel. A reform in treatment of the vulnerable goes along with Agnes attempting to reform the corruption of the familes she finds herself employed by. Ultimately, her effective powerless makes this a moving read, and the end is satisfying because there is the fear that it may never happen. I really enjoyed this book.

It took a little while for the characters to grow on me. I started this book while reading another at the time and I would bounce between the two. The more I read into it, however, the more I liked it and the harder it was to put it down. She uses a lot of description and although sometimes taxing, Flewelling really creates her world. It is rich with history and geography. I like her characters, too. Emotional, but not over-the-top. I can identify with them and I understand their motivations. They all have good chemistry and still have conflict between them, so they're not perfect and I appreciate that very much. Her story starts off pretty fast-paced, then slows a little for me, but after the initial lull, springs back to life. She's good at telling a story and leading up to events. They don't seem thrown together, but develope on their own. I like the lead-up with the necklace and I'm interested to see where it'll go. In the same vein, I'm glad that Alec and Seregil are slowly growing closer together instead of "let's get it on!" or "hold me, I loveth you SO much!" She's giving them time to develope their relationship and that feels much more realistic and satisfying than the usual mistake when handling romance. Let's see her keep it up. I'm interested in reading more and to see what other adventures they stumble into. The only pet peeve goes to the editor/s: Where were you?! I noticed about ten to fifteen punctuation and quotation errors. What's up with that? That's your job! She's a good writer and it's disappointing to see little things like that fall through the cracks so continuously.
