My niece recommended this one, and I liked it a lot. She said it was not as depressing as Hardy's "Tess" and she was right, but it still had an undertone of sadness.
A man makes a serious mistake when he is young; decides to reform himself; becomes successful; but can't escape his past. It came back to haunt him, but his real downfall was not trusting people's kindness. He always thought they had an ulterior motive--causing him to make a series of bad decisions.
I kept wanting him to make a good decision, but like Tess, he just went down the wrong road. At least there was happiness for the other characters.
