![]() ![]() Bathsheba is unique and attractive, and she turned every man's head. ![]() She starts out as her own bailiff, superintends and manages everything, and boldly enters the world of market, a world of men. But here, we have a heroine who can do it, who is a farmer and takes on a lot of duties. I read a lot of romances in which the heroines do nothing more than sip afternoon tea while entertaining callers, and attend balls and soirees and drink the waters in Bath. She doesn't shy away from work, she is courageous, intrepid and cannot be tamed. "Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness."īathsheba Everdene strong, wilful, independent and, above all, beautiful, Bathsheba is a woman ahead of her time. ![]() Far From the Madding Crowd is the poignant, moving and brilliant story of Bathsheba Everdene and her three suitors. Anyways! Even though this story takes place in rural Wessex and is filled with sheep and fields and moonlit nights and beautiful descriptions, there is a lot more to it than just animals and landscapes. But I do love the fact that Gabriel Oak was a shepherd, and not say, a pig farmer. I love sheep :) They are so cute! But sheep are actually not the reason why I love this book so much. "Sheep are such unfortunate animals! - there's always something happening to them! I never knew a flock pass a year without getting into some scrape or other." ![]()
