“Bathsheba Everdene arrives in the small village of Weatherbury and captures the heart of three very different men; Gabriel Oak, a quiet shepherd, the proud, obdurate Farmer Boldwood and dashing, unscrupulous Sergeant Troy. The battle for her affections will have dramatic, tragic and surprising consequences in this classic tale of love and misunderstanding.”

Reviews:
‘What a story! I was going to give it 4 stars, but the ending was so intense and wrapped everything up so beautifully that I had to rate it 5 stars.
What I love the most about this book is that it deals with an unorthodox woman. Bathsheba (I know, what a name?) is admired by a lot of men; still, she keeps on rejecting them one after another. She doesn’t want to be like every other woman at that time who marries the first man to propose and has children. Bathsheba is stubborn and she’s insecure, and she takes the reader (and all her suitors) on quite a journey. She’s human and she just wants to make the right choice, and I loved her for that.

This was my first book by Thomas Hardy, and one of the first things I noticed about his writing was that he spends a lot of time on heavily detailed descriptions. In particular the beginning is filled with descriptions of the surroundings and nature, and while I was a bit frustrated to start with, I couldn’t deny the fact that these descriptions were beautiful and really set the mood for the book.
I loved this story because it’s honest and very relevant. Read it with an open mind, and I’m sure you’ll end up appreciating it as much as I do 🙂 (Now I’ve got to watch the movie…)‘ – Goodreads review
