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 650 0 Readers (Adult) 650 0 English language|vTextbooks for foreign speakers. 650 0 Reading comprehension|vProblems, exercises, etc. 650 0 Farm life|vFiction. 650 0 Women farmers|vFiction. 650 0 Triangles (Interpersonal relations)|vFiction. 651 0 Wessex (England)|vFiction. 655 7 Pastoral fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Didactic fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Love stories.|2gsafd 700 12 Hardy, Thomas,|d1840-1928.|tFar from the madding crowd.
