The fates of two ill-matched couples intertwine in this poignant masterpiece from
one of England's greatest novelists Eustacia Vye is as wild and beautiful as the landscape
that surrounds her grandfather's house on Egdon Heath. Dark-haired, tempestuous, and
haughty, she yearns to escape her rural corner of England, and believes that by marrying
Clym Yeobright, a native of the heath just returned from Paris, she will find the
romance and adventure her heart craves. But Clym's interests run in the opposite direction--toward
comfort, community, and tradition--and the young couple's happy union soon turns miserable.
When a former suitor pays a fateful visit, Eustacia must decide whether to break her
vows to Clym or forego her exotic dreams forever. One of Thomas Hardy's most beloved
novels, The Return of the Native brilliantly evokes the dangerous allure of romantic
fantasies. Rich in mythological allusions yet grounded in the hard realities of nineteenth-century
village life, it is one of the most heartbreaking tragedies ever told. This ebook
has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices
