When country-girl Grace Melbury returns home from her middle-class school she
feels she has risen above her suitor, the simple woodsman Giles Winterborne.
Though marriage had been discussed between her and Giles, Grace finds herself
captivated by Dr Edred Fitzpiers, a sophisticated newcomer to the area - a
relationship that is encouraged by her socially ambitious father. Hardy's novel
of betrayal, disillusionment and moral compromise depicts a secluded community
coming to terms with the disastrous impact of outside influences. And in his
portrayal of Giles Winterborne, Hardy shows a man who responds deeply to the
forces of the natural world, thought they ultimately betray him.
