BoekenTrol71 | Apr 4, 2021 |  Enjoyed a classic I read this to participate in a local library's book discussion and I'm glad I did. Although I struggled through some of the early chapters, this story of a woman who was independent in an era when it wasn't acceptable or understood will stick with me for a long time. There's a reason why a classic is timeless--this one shows raw human emotions from so many angles. (  ) LindaLoretz | Mar 15, 2021 | I've been remembering Thomas Hardy as the least painful of the painful authors I read in college, so I went into this book with some trepidation. But I really enjoyed it! The story's kind of crazy so I never got bored, and the writing is wonderful. (  ) AngelClaw | Feb 18, 2021 | What a beautifully written novel this was! Hardy explores the dynamics of marriage, courtship, and selfhood through the three suitors of Bathsheba Everdene, and explores the long-standing consequences of the small and large choices we make. This was a thoroughly engaging read for me. (  ) DrFuriosa | Dec 4, 2020 | lush, unrequited love  Renaissancereader | Nov 24, 2020 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

'I shall do one thing in this life - one thing for certain - that is, love you, and long for you, and keep wanting you till I die.'Gabriel Oak is only one of three suitors for the hand of the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene. He must compete with the dashing young soldier Sergeant Troy and respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. And while their fates depend upon the choice Bathsheba makes, she discovers theterrible consequences of an inconstant heart.Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to give the name of Wessex to the landscape of south-west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. Set against the backdrop of the unchanging natural cycle of the year, the story both upholds and questionsrural values with a startlingly modern sensibility. This new edition retains the critical text that restores previously deleted and revised passages. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I let the book go through my mind, but really can't put my finger on in. It was predictable, Bethseba wasn't a character that I gave much in common with, Troy I disliked wholeheartedly and Oak, well, need I try to put it into words?
And despite all of this I kept listening and I grew interest to find out if I would be right about the outcome. It turned out I was.
Another one ticked off the list, I'm happy it was a nice one! (
