Thought I had better read a non-crime book.
Haven't read any Hardy for years; don't know quite what to make of this. Hardy obviously took his role as rural, unconventional somewhat maverick novelist quite seriously.
Tess is a bit sugary, despite being tragic, Angel Clare thinks of himself as unconventional but falls at the first serious hurdle (Tess' history) and this is quite well portrayed.
Conclusion: I really don't know...
