Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
4.0

I quite liked Bathsheba’s character after all, contrary to Tess of the D’Ubervilles where I hated all the characters although still enjoyed the book very much.

Gabriel was my favourite and it’s quite easy to understand why since among the various suitors was the only sane one.

Hardy is definitely one of the best portrayer of characters and personalities that I have ever had the pleasure to read.
He has this way of talking about a character, even a secondary one, that makes them so real and vivid and nuanced.
