The writing is very good but you can tell this is Anne Bronte's first novel. The beginning was rough but the novel redeemed itself in the end. I just wished that Agnes was written with a less heavy hand. She was a little, ok, a lot, self-righteous. She could do no wrong and everyone else was wrong, and wronged her. A little character growth would have made for more enjoyable reading, and a more likeable MC.
