Publisher's Summary

Sexually innocent Jude Fawley is trapped into marriage by seductive Arabella Donn, but their union is an unhappy one and Arabella leaves him. Jude's welcome freedom allows him to pursue his obsession with his pretty cousin Sue Bridehead, a brilliant, charismatic free-thinker who would be his ideal soul mate if not for her aversion to physical love. When Jude and Sue decide to lead their lives outside marriage they bring down on themselves all the force of a repressive society. This fearless and outspoken story caused a furor on its publication, and was Hardy's last novel.

Depressing

I am a huge Thomas Hardy fan. I love his work, and there’s always a depressing element at work but this one takes the cake in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong; I still enjoyed it, but so many times I caught myself saying out loud “what the actual f?”
