Gary and Siena return to their favourite Brontë sister with Agnes Grey, the autobiographical debut novel of Anne Brontë. Our hosts draw comparisons between this book and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, as well as the works of Anne's more well-known sisters - also, briefly, Dangerous Minds and Freedom Writers . Featuring stories about their worst ever jobs, and references to Charlotte Brontë's (allegedly) malicious nature.
