Tess Durbeyfield is a girl from a poor family who is thrown into a difficult situation without any fault of herself. This will determine her later life which is not a happy one.
One of the classics that will appeal to readers who love Charles Dickens who is one of my favourites, so I also loved this one.

I saw the movie version of this one first, then read the book when I was in college, and I've loved it ever since. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a movie, I know there are several. But I loved the book.
DeleteI liked this book as well. Tess sometimes made me irritated, but it is, as you say, a good description of life at the time. The nature, villages and people. My favourite Hardy though is The Mayor of Canterbridge.
ReplyDeleteI love that one, too, Lisbeth, though I think I might have only watched the film. I'll have to change that. Have a nice Sunday.
