Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
I read Tess of the D’ubervilles back in high school. Don’t remember why. I don’t think it was assigned. I was surprised to discover that she has her disastrous affair very early on in the novel. I’d forgotten all the rest of it. But now I’m writing this a few weeks after finishing the book and I’m already a little vague on the rest of it. It’s the story of a woman being ruined and her subsequent redemption, but the ruined is all I can remember. Is that my fault or Hardy’s?
