Tess, a graceful woman, as sensitive as gossamer and as pure as snow.
On a misty moonlit night, Tess followed her "cousin" Alec, who was pretending to be a noble, into a hunting forest. From then on, her life suffered an irreversible change. The shadow of this sad experience enveloped Tess, and she could not let go even if she met the love of her life, Claire. Tess experienced sweet love and suffered painful separation. When her husband left and life was difficult, Alek's entanglement again pulled her into a deeper quagmire.
Fiery love and strong hatred, bright light and heavy darkness, intertwined into Tess's life that ended in tragedy. This is the trauma of an era, which is touching, worrying and sad.
Reader comments
Hardy's Tess is really endearing and pitiable. Her story reminded me of some of my friends who also faced adversity in their lives, but faced it with strength like Tess. This book not only shows the complexity of human nature, but also allows us to see the social reality of that era. The author's depiction of the characters is delicate and nuanced, making people empathize with him. Highly recommended!
A great book that I can't put down
I like... Very delicate, detailed and educational.
