Not one of the best but an early inkling of what was to come. Not as grim as later novels.

I love this author for his ability to Crete such believable characters in such detail. But this story is a slice of life in a small village with many colorful characters that are very much a product of their time. There is r really a gripping plot. Just life and it’s happenings between the girl Fancy and her suitors. But at least it’s not as dark and depressing as his novel Tess. If you’re in the mood for a good county story you’ll enjoy the narration is excellent
