Bathsheba Everdene was a beautiful young woman. She had all in
her life, she was very happy because she loved the place where she lived. And
she continued happy when she knew that Gabriel, a farmer, loved her. He fell in
love with her at first sight and he wanted to marry her. He had hopes because
they were friends and that’s why he decided to talk with her. But Bathsheba did
not love him and she said ‘no’ to him. That was very sad for Gabriel but he
accepted it.
Another man fell in love with her,
in this case a rich man: Boldwood. He did the same as Gabriel and like him, he
got the same answer at first. Bathsheba was confused, she did not love him but
finally she said ‘yes’ (maybe that was the best thing that she could do) and
she married him. But a third man appeared in Bathsheba’s life...
It isn’t a difficult book in
this abridged edition. However, I can only recommend it to older teenagers
because of the plot and Batsheba’s indecision.
This
book has been recommended before (see March posts)
