A review by roseleaf24
A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy

3.0

This is not Hardy's best. Don't read it if you haven't read any of his better and better known works. This has the scathing commentary on class structure and patriarchal oppression of his other books, but he is not nearly as talented at writing women in this book as he is in later novels. Elfie is unsympathetic and silly for a good deal of the book.
