They are betrothed until a fateful meeting with the self-assured Marcia Bencomb changes the course of his life yet again.

DislikedUnlike The Well-Beloved, which is my least favorite Thomas Hardy novel. I knew it was my least favorite Thomas Hardy novel. I knew I didn't like it, but as I had read all of the rest of Thomas Hardy's books in publication order for this read-along, and as The Well-Beloved is very short, I thought I would just reread it anyway and slip it in.
What made the match, strongest first
