520    "Bathsheba Everdene is young, proud, and beautiful. She is
       an independent woman and can marry any man she chooses - 
       if she chooses. In fact, she likes her independence, and 
       she likes fighting her own battles in a man's world. But 
       it is never wise to ignore the power of love. There are 
       three men who would very much like to marry Bathsheba. 
       When she falls in love with one of them, she soon wishes 
       she had kept her independence. She learns that love brings
       misery, pain, and violent passions that can destroy lives 
       . . ." --Back cover
