A review by brucefarrar
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding

5.0

Poor Tom, he’s a pleasant tempered and handsome fellow, but he’s just not able to say no, especially not to the young women who fancy him, or to the not so young women who fancy him. This gets him into some terrible scrapes and even disowned and thrown out of his home. Will he be able to reconcile himself to his benefactor, Squire Allworthy, or to Sophia Western, the beautiful girl next door, for whom he would readily drain his veins to preserve one drop of her dear blood? And will he be able to save her from a forced marriage to the deceitful, scheming Master Blifil?
