Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
4.0

Oh goodness... It's such a good book but there are definitely parts of it that disturb me a bit, such as Tess's willingness to commit suicide should her husband bid it, or the fact that Angel just abandoned her after she confided her biggest and most painful secret to him... There is definitely a double standard here that I dislike, but I still can't seem to put the book down. I suppose I have to look at it with a different perspective to understand.
