100 word review: Thomas Hardy

This novel was extremely controversial when published and I can completely understand why. I won't give away any of the plot that has made it so controversial but it basically follows the story of Jude who falls in love with his cousin Sue. It is a very depressing book but still a really good read. It is a classic so you should definitely consider reading it. I got a shock from this one and I'm pretty sure you will too. Despite being about forbidden love, this is not just a novel for women and men could enjoy it too. Odd.
