A review by danielcasey
Under the Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy

lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

A very light story with surprising low stakes for what Hardy would later develop. There are novella is carried by the dialogues of ancillary characters because it’s here that Hardy captures the pastoral world he want to set his “plot”
