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

5.0

I finished Tess of the D'urbervilles tonight. What a brilliant, emotional, tragic novel. It hit really close to home throughout most of the story for me, and I absolutely loved the ending. The writing style was creative enough and the story maintained my interest. It came close to Anna Karenina/Levin territory but Hardy did it way better than Tolstoy by giving purpose and allowing the monotonous farming to be crucial to the plot and actually develop it rather than take away from it. Looking forward to watching the mini series now.
