Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
4.0
“The man to whom she was hooked was brilliant in brass and scarlet. He was a soldier. His sudden appearance was to darkness what the sound of a trumpet is to silence.”
Hardy’s powerful novel of swift sexual passion and slow-burning loyalty centres on Bathsheba Everdeen, a proud working woman whose life is complicated by three different men - respectable farmer Boldwood, seductive Sergeant Troy and devoted Gabriel - making her the object of scandal and betrayal!
This was my first Hardy, and I really enjoyed it! His writing style is so easy to understand and follow, and at times had me laughing out loud. The way Hardy writes his characters makes you love them one minute and hate them the next! And I ended up rooting for the bad guy, whoops
