One of the few times I will say to watch the movie first.

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

September 21, 2020 by narfna 4 Comments

I probably chose the wrong time to read this one, as so many of my friends like it quite a bit, even ones who don’t like Thomas Hardy as a writer. But it nicely filled a challenge for Read Harder, and because it’s been on my TBR for over a decade, and it was available on SCRIBD, I did it. And I didn’t not like it, I just found it hard to finish, and it never really caught my attention. I missed soooo much while […]

“I shouldn’t mind being a bride at a wedding if I could be one without having a husband.”

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

October 26, 2015 by yesknopemaybe 4 Comments

I had no idea what this story was about when a friend dragged me to see the new adaptation of Far From the Madding Crowd with Carey Mulligan. Thank god she did because I looooooooooved it. To the point where I was almost afraid to read the book. What if it didn’t live up to the movie? FFtMC tells the story of Bathsheba Everdene, a headstrong woman who ends up inheriting and running a Weatherbury farm in Victorian era England. She is very young at […]

“It is rarely that the pleasures of the imagination will compensate for the pain of sleeplessness,”

Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy, Nathaniel Parker (narrator)

October 15, 2015 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

Following the praise of the audio version of Far from the Madding Crowd read by Nathaniel Parker by Malin and bonnie this year I decided that I would attempt my first Thomas Hardy. While I had a pretty good foundation in literature at school there are definitely some classics, or classic authors, that have escaped my purview (looking at you Charles Dickens). I don’t remember if I’d heard good things or bad, but I was definitely a little wary of this undertaking. I should not […]

Batsheba Everdene. Pretty decent farmer, dreadful judgement in matters of men

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

September 3, 2015 by Malin 2 Comments

Farmer Gabriel Oak falls for the pretty, independent-minded and headstrong Miss Bathsheba Everdene pretty much the first time he sees her. He proposes to her, but is rebuffed, as she’s unsure if she ever wants to get married. After losing his entire livelihood after one horrible accident, Gabriel has to go back to being a lowly shepherd and through a series of circumstances ends up working on for Miss Everdene, who’s inherited a farm from her uncle and is determined to run and manage it […]
