I generally love classics and I especially loved Jane Eyre and Withering Heights written by Anne Bronte's sisters. But this is one of the first classics I've read where I got to the end and didn't really see the point? It started off kind of interesting - Agnes becomes the governess to some horrible masochistic children - but then nothing really happened. Agnes was kind of flat the whole time, and I was not at all invested in the romance angle. The ending also felt tonally out of place. Still this was easy enough to read and was nice and short. There was also some interesting narration, including some fourth wall breaks and addressing the reader. I'll give The Tenant of Wildfell Hall a try - but am starting to see why Anne is a bit overlooked.
