lilimiss_anonymous 's review for:
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
No surprise but Hardy writes beautifully. The book does not evoke pity or an overflow of uncontrollable emotions, it does not make it easy for you to process what you read and move on. Although we follow the protagonist, the story is actually concerned with the world around her and how it refused to just let her be. While Hardy wrote during and about a time I cannot imagine, the world has not changed enough to deem this as just fiction.
I don't quite know what to do about this story. I think I'll go lie down.
