A review by shmaggie23
Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The number of places my jaw dropped and I went WTF because modern sensibilities would have rendered the plot of this book impossible was a lot, but also the wavering feelings of some of the characters is SHOCKING
