I first learned of this book while watching a BBC film, and the movie version of it was being advertised. It seemed like an interesting story, so I read up about it, and saw that it was based a book. I always have to read the book first, so I added it to my list, and forgot about it. The first clue to me that this was just an ok book, should have been the fact that it was really difficult to find a library that actually had it, and I ended up putting in a special request and having it sent from a University library, and they lent me a first edition.
Anywho, the story felt like a common one, fallen girl, taken in, all 3 sons fall in love with her. The characters weren't particularly well-developed or original. The romance felt ubrupt (so did the ending). A much much better story is Far From the Madding Crowd and it has similarities. Totally skippable.
