Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

"Far from the Madding Crowd" by Thomas Hardy is a novel published in 1874. It follows the independent Bathsheba Everdene, who inherits a farm in rural England and attracts three very different suitors: the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, the obsessive gentleman farmer William Boldwood, and the dashing but reckless Sergeant Frank Troy. Set against the backdrop of Victorian farming life, this tale of love, honor, and betrayal explores the consequences of impulsive choices and the complexity of the human heart.
