A review by hspindlew
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy

4.0

Elizabeth-Jane had one messed up life though - I mean, just the number of lies was astounding. she was definitely the best/most level headed character because even when the guy she loved was a 'straight fool' (to quote myself)and MARRIED her best friend she was pretty cool about it.
in terms of plot and structure, this novel was just very well put together. Not the most exciting (if you're looking for standard Hardy drama, this is not your novel) but it plotted really well. took me long enough!
