If your answers were mostly Bs—It might be that Emily Bronte’s tale, Wuthering Heights would appeal to you. This authoress relies heavily on relaying the entire history of the families who live in and near the heights and it plays out a bit like a soap opera in that the family drama is paramount.

 

If your answers were mostly Cs—The novel Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte is for you. This story follows a young lady as she endeavors to become a governess after her own family is thrust into a life of poverty. She floats from one household to the next, learning about her charges, and doing her best to take care of herself and make as little trouble for others as possible.
