Very much in the style of Charles Dickens but a little easier, this classic has all the usual elements of Victorian literature. It is tragic yet entertaining. Tess is a woman you want to rescue throughout the whole book as she is so good yet so victimized. I was surprised at the ending. Some might think this book is a bit sappy. But I like it. It kept my attention.

Better than I thought it would be, but took awhile to get into. Overall I enjoyed it.
