When I read it in two nights in college I did not love it.<br /><br />I also love <i>Under the Greenwood Tree</i> by Hardy. It actually ends happily and is quite funny.

I read everything of his I could get my hands on after my high school English teacher compared me to thr heroine in "The Return of the Native." And Polanski's film version of "Tess"--nothing short of wow.
