The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
"The Return of the Native" by Thomas Hardy is a novel published in 1878. Set entirely on the wild Egdon Heath, it follows the intersecting fates of several characters over one fateful year. When Clym Yeobright returns from Paris, the beautiful but restless Eustacia Vye sees him as her escape from the desolate heath. Their romance ignites conflicts with family and former lovers, including the fickle Damon Wildeve and sweet Thomasin. Misunderstandings,
thwarted ambitions, and passionate desires converge in this atmospheric tale of longing and consequence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
