Tess of the d'Urbervilles

This is the title of the book that I've read in the third term. Now, I'm going to sumarize it:

Tess is the eldest daughter of a country family, the Durbeyfields. She has a lot of brothers and sisters and she has to help their parents. When they find out that their true ancestors are the noble family of the d'Urbevilles they think of a wedding between Tess and one of them. So, she moves to Trandtridge where she works and lives with the noble family watching for the chickens.

There, she meets Alec who seems the perfect gentleman for her. However, everything changes when they were drinking and dancing with all the workers and Tess wanted to go home. Alec offered himself to brig Tess at home but he raped her in the middle of the forest. She returned to her home and she had a baby. Her family is really angry with her and they don’t want to know anything about the baby and it died by an illness.

She wanted to start her life again and she went to work in a dairy. She learned a lot of new things and moreover, she met a boy; Angel. They felt in love but there was a problem; the families. Angel was from a noble and religious family and they wanted a maiden for him, and Tess was from a modest family and the important thing for them is that he was a gentlemen. Despite this, they get married in December in the dairy house. They were really happy. The only thing that made change their happiness was Tess’s past. She wanted to tell him before, but she couldn’t. Angel decided go to Brazil for a while because he doesn’t accepted Tess’s past.

Everyday Tess family goes worst and she met again with Alec of the d’Urbervilles, who didn’t know that Tess had a baby. When Tess father’s died, Alec offered to her family go to a house that he gives to them. Angel never returns and their writings never arrive. Alec convinces Tess that her husband will never return and he decided try to marry Tess again, he loved her. At these moment, Angel returned and Tess decided kill Alec and go with Angel. They try to escape from the country but police arrested Tess and finally, she gets executed.

Although it’s a sad story I will recommend to people who like thriller novels. When you start reading you cannot stop because every moment are happening interesting things.
