nakedsushi 's review for:
Tess of the d'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
A great, but ultimately frustrating read. It's hard to get into the Victorian mindset for this book and it's even harder not to get angry at the hypocrisy of their set of morals. The ending parts were so unexpected and strange that I was completely caught off-guard.
I thought I'd be annoyed by the protagonist, Tess, because of her unwavering faith in Angel, but she was mostly likable because of the way she preserved in such f-ed up circumstances. I'm glad I read this when I did because if I had read it in high school, I would have been so mad at how things turned out.
