About this listen

In a remote corner of early Victorian England, where traditional practices remain untouched by time, Bathsheba Everdene stands out as a beacon of female independence and self-reliance. However, when confronted with three suitors, among them the dashing Sergeant Troy, she shows a reckless capriciousness that threatens the stability of the whole community. Published in 1874, and an immediate best seller, Far From the Madding Crowd established Thomas Hardy as one of Britain's foremost novelists.

It's a great love story about one woman and three men and, in a way, the outcome is relatively predictable from the outset, although the twists and turns in the plot are very rewarding.
I've been listening to audiobooks for about 20 years and I just have to say that the narrator, James Parker, did an absolutely brilliant job.

Brilliant narration

Well read by the narrator. A good 'Hardy' story with contrasting characters. I've never read this one and this audiobook did its job and kept me listening.
