pickFar From the Madding Crowd tells the story of beautiful Bathsheba Everdene, a fiercely independent woman who inherits a farm and decides to run it herself. She rejects a marriage proposal from Gabriel Oak, a loyal man who takes a job on her farm after losing his own in an unfortunate accident. I loved watching the relationship between Bathsheba and Gabriel evolve. Teaches a good lesson about being careful when you turn down your first suitor!

Lcsmcat I loved this in high school, and still did when I reread it decades later. I wish they still taught Hardy in schools. 6y
