Bookwormjillk I have a feeling that note the girls wrote is going to backfire. 1y

Librarybelle I have to prevent myself from getting the creepy crawly chills every time Alec pops up! Stalker!!!!! 1y

Bookwormjillk Also I found this biography of Thomas Hardy included in my audible account. Was wondering how a man from the 1800s could write like a 2020‘s woman

Thomas Hardy

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk I think Hardy‘s sympathy just shows that calling out men for exploiting the vulnerable isn‘t a new or “woke” idea at all. It‘s been around for a long, long time. 1y

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella imagine that 😁 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Such a creep! How much do you want to bet that Alec had something to do with the rooms being taken? 🤬 1y

dabbe It seems as if Tess and her family are literally at their final, last straw. Of course they're going to stay with Alec (he left Tess to go talk to the mom), and now Angel is coming back. #whatcouldgowrong #ugh 1y

Bklover Of course she is!! 1y

currentlyreadinginCO I am interested in that as well, will be reading more about him @Bookwormjillk 1y

Librarybelle Alec is a stalker. I get the creeps with his intentions and his refusal to listen to Tess. Grrr… 1y

Ruthiella Typical “you made me do it” , blame the victim attitude. Ugh. 1y

Daisey I agree that all the blame from Alec was awful, but I had a different perspective on the farming. I found Hardy‘s descriptions of the thresher and the backbreaking hours of work fantastic! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Daisey it was definitely interesting, sprinkled in among the drama 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m so glad somebody hit Alec! But Tess didn‘t hit him hard enough. He can still talk 😡😡😡😡😡 (edited) 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @Daisey I did think that was interesting! It‘s something I didn‘t know anything about. And he doesn‘t go on… and on… and on like Victor Hugo 😂 1y

Bookwormjillk Alec is obviously lower than a piece of dirt on the bottom of my shoe, but he‘s not wrong about Angel and his treatment of Tess. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I agree! 1y

eeclayton I'm not sure if I'd be happy if Angel came back and forgave Tess for getting raped. He should ask for her forgiveness. 1y

Bklover It‘s always Tess‘s fault. Everything. And she‘s always going to believe that!!🙄😠🤯 1y

currentlyreadinginCO That LETTER ! "Your faithful heartbroken" !!! 1y
