About This Novel

The heroine Tess was born in a poor hawker family. Her parents asked her to be sent to a rich old woman's house to meet relatives. As a result, she was seduced by the young master Alec. Later, she fell in love and became engaged to Claire, the son of a pastor. On their wedding night, she confessed her past misfortunes to her husband, but she was not forgiven. The two separated, and her husband went to Brazil. Years later, Tess met Alec again, who pestered her. At this time, she had to live with her enemy due to her family's financial difficulties. Soon Claire came back from abroad and expressed regret to her wife for her past ruthlessness. In this case, Tess painfully felt that it was Alec D'Urberville who caused her to lose Angel for the second time and she killed him angrily. Eventually she was captured and hanged.
