Trying to keep up with my THOMAS HARDY Goodreads book club. Excellent novel so far. Read once as a teenager but it feels completely new to me now. I love to contrast the writing styles of Hardy and Dickens. They were contemporaries, but keep in mind that Dickens was born in 1812 and Hardy, almost a generation later, in 1840.
