6/26/2023 0 Comments The woodlanders book![]() I love my Hardy, as many of you will know, and those fond memories of my first reading of it have been upheld.ĭespite not being a happy story – that’s maybe no surprise, this is Thomas Hardy we are talking about – The Woodlanders is less melodramatic than some of Hardy’s best known novels. I am so glad I left it until now, as it has been such a joy. I can remember clearly where I was when I read it – and despite always meaning to, I never managed to get around to re-reading it in the intervening years. I’m not sure why this is only the second time I’ve read The Woodlanders, as I remember been mesmerised by it when I was eighteen. Several friends and I have been reading (or re-reading in my case) all of Hardy’s fiction in chronological order. The Woodlanders is the latest read in my on-going Hardy challenge. ![]()
