Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
2.0

Ok I didn’t actually finish this entire book. It was SO SAD!!! I’d been warned that Thomas Hardy is dark, but DANG. This was heart-wrenching! I looked up the end of the plot because I couldn’t bear to read it (something I never do). There were happy moments and things that made me laugh, but the overall plot was just so sad. But, a good take on how life may have been for women back in the day. Tess did the best she could with the choices available to her, which were not many.
