"Bathsheba Everdene is young, proud, and beautiful. She is an independent woman and can marry any man she chooses - if she chooses. In fact, she likes her independence, and she likes fighting her own battles in a man's world. But it is never wise to ignore the power of love. There are three men who would very much like to marry Bathsheba. When she falls in love with one of them, she soon wishes she had kept her independence. She learns that love brings misery, pain, and violent passions that can destroy lives . . ." --Back cover Naeem Readers (Adult) 102813 English language Textbooks for foreign speakers. 102814 Reading comprehension Problems, exercises, etc. 102815 Farm life Fiction. 102816 Women farmers Fiction. 102817 Triangles (Interpersonal relations) Fiction. 69940 Wessex (England) Fiction. 63624 Hardy, Thomas, 1840-1928.
