About this listen

Hardy's third novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes, follows the story of Elfride Swancourt. The daughter of the rector of Endelstow, a sparse, sea-swept parish in Cornwall, Elfride is caught between two suitors of very different backgrounds: Stephen Smith, a young architect restoring the old parish church; and the respectable, older man of London society, Henry Knight. The blue-eyed and high-spirited protagonist must untangle the conflicting messages of her heart and her mind.

I loved the rich embellished prose and the plot twists and finale denouement. I felt I was there with the protagonist, so vivid is the depiction of her character and her thoughts and feelings. The reading of it was beautiful. Thank you.

Masterfully written
