Professional reviews
"Hardy’s fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the author's most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description. ‘It's the most tragic tale of a man who did a great wrong and pays for it later. The way Henchard arranges his life just so, only to see it wrecked and ruined by Fate - it makes me howl with pathos’ INDEPENDENT"
