Book Review: "A Pair of Blue Eyes" by Thomas Hardy - 1873

Another recommendation from my niece.  She likes Hardy, but I have found him depressing.  She told me this wasn't too sad--and she is right.  It is a love story.  It had some very suspenseful scenes, and I just love the ending. 

Elfride falls in and out of love very easily.  I don't know why these men even like her.  I found her shallow and not very smart.  Supposedly, she is based on Hardy's first wife, and the story is somewhat autobiographical.
