A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy

2.0

What I love about Thomas Hardy is how he portrays strong female characters in his novels. Elfride though in A Pair of Blue Eyes, supposedly based on Hardy's first wife, is frustratingly irritating. Full of 'oh I have somesthing so important to tell you but it must wait until tomorrow/end of the week/next Michelmas! A painfully long drawn out read which was like watching a horse-drawn carriage crash.
