A review by taya_bel
Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

5.0

Wow. A fantastic story. This is the first long classic that I’ve read solely by myself with no audiobook. I’ve felt my reading grow stronger throughout it.

I absolutely love the dynamics of Farmer Oak, Boldwood, and Troy in relation to Bathsheba. I love the happy ending as well in which Mr. Oak gets her in the end. Hardy still keeps it realistic in the last page by saying that she does not readily laugh, only smiles.

Note to self: I read this book solely on physical copy
