Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Title: Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Author: Thomas Hardy
Type: Paperback
Read: 20th April - 29th April
Rating: 4/5
Published: 2009 by Harper Collins Childrens Books 

Tess is a good woman. But in her time & her place, being good, & being a woman, is not enough to find justice in a world dominated by powerful men, & even more powerful traditions. When Tess falls in love with Angel, she cannot imagine the heartbreak that will follow.

To read a classic i need to be in the right frame of mind. I find them so difficult to understand. I did enjoy this story. I felt sorry for Tess and I really do not think she deserved to die for her sins. It's a tragic tale written hundreds of years ago.
