Tess of the d'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
Evocative descriptions of setting, heavy symbolism, and a critique on Victorian society's hypocritical moralistic views, Thomas Hardy delivers a brilliant feminist novel. This is probably best read for the purpose of exploration of themes and symbols and for a careful analysis rather than just for the story itself though the story does stand on itself.
I did find some moments of this books less interesting (similar to the gripes I've heard regarding the farming portion of Ana Karinnina). As a result, the tedium did drag the brilliance of the story down, but only by one star.
A well plotted and well written Victorian novel which demands examination of the reader.
