The Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy

The WoodlandersThe Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars





I really liked this book. Found it hard to get into for the first few chapters though.
I loved the setting of the book, luscious green woods. I can almost imagine myself being there.
Without giving anything away, I really felt for Giles and thought he was hard done by. Fitzpiers is some piece of work....I disliked him immensely.
The book entails adultery in a time when divorces were not really around, and women hard barely any rights.
