A beautiful story about trauma and how it can alter a person. A book about how violence completed it's circle. An absolute must-read!

The plot got so depressing for me. I had to go read a synopsis to decide if I could besr the rest of it out and I decided not- I was happy to know that eventually there was a happy end, but Tess had a rough enough life until this part happened!

I’ll keep it short - this book is comforting yet miserable, a gorgeous description of an injustice not enforced by law but by the heart. Worth reading for its Wessex setting - a bucolic dream more diverse and dangerous than meets the eye - as well as for the reward of its contemplative characters. Let them surprise you.
