It truly deserves its designation as one of the greatest love stories of all time. Following the intertwining lives of its characters, we watch as independent and free-spirited Bathsheba Everdene makes various false starts with her infatuated neighbor William Boldwood and the dashing soldier Sergeant Troy (who is also involved with the tragic Fanny Robin), before finally accepting that her heart lies with faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak. The plot involves love, loyalty, death and betrayal and all this is delivered to us in Hardy's most eloquent prose. But our spirited young heroine will not be. It centres on the lives of five characters: Gabriel Oak, Bathsheba Everdene, Mr Boldwood, Sgt. When Bathsheba Everdene inherits a farm from her uncle, no-one expects her to take on its management herself.
