This was a timeless love story full of intrigue, mystery, and conflict of love. The reader is drawn completely into the world of Bathsheba Everdene. Into the thoughtless actions of her youth in the beginning to the final growth into womanhood near the end. Before the readers eyes she becomes more aware of her actions and thoughts. Just like with a real person you know there are times when you almost dislike her and other times she seems more alive than the words on the pages. The only thing really lacking is the lack of voice of Bathsheba when most of the story is told through the men of the story. But that can be eliminated as a downside when you consider the time period that the novel was written. If you enjoy the classics this is one that you will enjoy. A love story with only one true match that is written in the stars from the very beginning.
