A review by kwananntan
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy

4.0

If I had to give an alternative summary to this book: Man sells wife and baby, becomes rich and a series of Really Complicated romantic entanglements occur later on because of it. Also, many references to wheat and grain are present.

Seriously though, this book could very plausibly be a modern day television drama, one of those that go on forever and never seem to come to a conclusion. No spoilers here, but needless to say it's a very wild ride.
