Bookwormjillk Oh Angel you‘re way too late bud. 13mo
Cuilin Yeah he‘s too late. Hardy is amazing! This book could be told in today‘s world. Alec is the obvious rapist getting away with it and Angel is the nice guy saying not all men. Ugh maybe not all Angel but definitely you!!!! 13mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin YES someone should remake this. It really is a remarkable and unfortunately timeless book. 13mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin I so agree. It‘s timeless. 13mo
Bklover @Cuilin I agree! Hardy seems way ahead of his time. 13mo
Bklover I think Angel is too late! Neither of them deserve her anyway! 13mo
Clare-Dragonfly I understood Joan to be telling her child that Angel has married Tess, not that she‘s married someone else. Of course Tess may very well be living with Alec now ☹️ 13mo
dabbe The narrator says something like Joan and kids are living in a “garden“ area, which is the place that Alec offered them. So ... Tess must have agreed and is now living with the a--hole to take care of her family ... AGAIN ... because everything is always her fault. My heart bleeds for her as a character. Damn you, Hardy! 😢 13mo
currentlyreadinginCO I don't like the sound of this one bit!! 13mo

I'm really enjoying this book so far but it changes POV so much my head is spinning. In every writing class I've ever taken it was hammered into me to never change POV without a scene break. This is really allowed? 😳 I'm kind of shocked. I've seen it in other books but it's subtle, or at least every few pages. This one changes every other sentence. Someone talk me off the ledge here... #sayitisntso #writingrules
