Laura wrote: "28.Tess of the D'Urbervilles" A favorite of mine. What did you think?

I was hoping for a better outcome for Tess, so I hated the way it ended, but the writing was good and I appreciated what it had to say about double standards. I thought it would be more like My Antonia where she ends up in a happy, but simple place. Should have read spoilers first!

I agree. And My Antonia was excellent.

There is something about Hardy's writing that I find very appealing, despite the dreary settings and terrible outcomes. I should re-read it to see if how I feel has changed.

Nice work on your TBRS!
