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

4.0

Not the greatest of Hardy's novels by a log stretch but certainly more light hearted than his normal. Deeply funnny at moments, the underlying tragedy builds but never becomes overbearing. I love Hardy but stopped reading him because it is such a depressing experience; this was almost a compromise: not quite on perfect form but I won't be crying myself to sleep tonight.
