One of the great romantic novels of all times, although she seems to have a dodgy taste in men. Hope you enjoy it.

6 trivia quiz  Tess - Hardy's Favorite Heroine icon
I studied ToD in literature class and was lucky to have a teacher who knew almost all the nuances and symbolism reflected in this book. I have tried to ask questions that might require some thinking, and maybe make readers appreciate Hardy in a new way.
