HEAR SAMPLE

Written when she was twenty-six, Agnes Grey is Anne Bront's first novel. It tells
the story of a rector's daughter who has to earn her living as a governess. Drawing directly from her own
experiences, Anne Bront set out to describe the immense pressures that the governess's life involvedthe
frustration, the isolation, and the insensitive and cruel treatment on the part of employers and their families.

Too often, Anne Bront has been portrayed as a saintly, self-effacing shadow of her elder sisters. But clearly
she possessed resources of courage and determination equal to theirs, together with a sweetness that was
all her own.

Anne Brontë was born at Thornton, Yorkshire, on January 17, 1820. She was the sixth and youngest child of Reverend Patrick Brontë, an Irishman by birth, and Maria Branwell Brontë, who was from a prosperous Cornish family. Following her mother's death in 1821, Anne and four sisters and one brother were raised by an aunt, Elizabeth Branwell.

Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
