3.5

Such a wonderful read! What I admired the most in this book is the 1. subtle beauty of the writing and the vivid descriptions of the characters’ moods, thoughts and the landscape. 2. The fact that the novel is indeed a semi autobiography of Anne Brontë and it shows the reality of what it really means to be a governess in 1800s England. 3. Agnes as a character is so ahead of her time and I just love herrr.
