Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë
3.0
I listened to the audiobook of Agnes Grey and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read it. (Note: I did not listen to Audible's version of the audiobook).
I love the premise of the lead being a governess, and enjoyed the plot.
What I didn't enjoy was the religious aspects (though there isn't much that can be done, and it was a large part of the culture) and I found the writing somewhat uninteresting - although I believe this may be because I'm listening to the audiobook? I felt that I could easily drown it out and concentrate on my thoughts which is not what I want to be doing!
I found I also struggled with the narrator and some of the voice actors they chose for the version I listened to. This isn't really an issue with the book itself though.
