Description
Hardy recounts the tale of Tess Durbeyfield, a striking young woman from an impoverished family in Wessex, the picturesque southwestern English county. Discovering her kinship to the affluent d’Urbervilles, Tess is sent to claim a share of their wealth. However, she encounters Alec d’Urberville, who seduces her, leading to a secret pregnancy and the loss of her child, Sorrow, in infancy. Enter Angel Clare, a vastly different man who appears to offer Tess love and redemption, but ultimately shuns her on their wedding night upon learning of her past. Left emotionally shattered, financially destitute, and oppressed by the unbending social morals of English society, Tess finds herself trapped by her passions, leading to a horrific and desperate act to escape her turmoil.
