I thought the novel i started reading is really good. It is sort of hard to understand at first. For times sake i am going to refer to the novel as "Tess". Overall the story is sort of complicated to get since it was written long ago and takes place in the late 1800's. There are many details and little things to catch. Right away in the story i resented Tess' parents, i felt as though they are lazy, and just want to make a buck of their own child. Tess seems really responsible, and level headed, however i do think she is batteling with herself and her own issues. Some people say she may have been seduced, but i think she was raped by alec. To me this is really sad because before it happens i see the author adding details of how pure Tess is. After she goes home and quits working i feel like her mom wants her to marry Alec just for status reasons. After the baby dies i really feel bad for Tess and what she must be going through. Esecially since she is giving birth not only really young but in a time where its unacceptable to give birth back then and is still today is looked at as deviant.
So far i really enjoy the book. I am not that far into the book and so much has happend! The author does a good joob of getting the reader hooked right away. There are so many events in the first part that im excited to see what possibly could happen next!
