But Agnes s enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr. Weston, the sober young curate. Anne Bronte s first novel, which draws on her own experiences, offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open to them in Victorian society.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47857180508318,"sku":"ADS-9781435172715","price":16.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781435172715.jpg?v=1781482875","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781435172715","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
