I had to force myself to stop reading so that I could extend the experience of reading this book. Hardy’s writing was enthralling and I didn’t want to put the book down. I wistfully think about it, wondering whether it is too soon to pick it up again.
Everything about it captivated me and the story stayed with me for a while after I had finished reading. I fell in love with this book after reading chapter one. Vividly portraying the superstitions and traditions of a small rural community, “Far from the Madding Crowd” shows the precarious position of a woman in a man’s world.
Summary: Hardy’s powerful novel of swift sexual passion and slow-burning loyalty centres on Bathsheba Everdene, a proud working woman whose life is complicated by three different men – respectable farmer Boldwood, seductive Sergeant Troy and devoted Gabriel – making her the object of scandal and betrayal.
