Description

Anne Garland stands between brothers John Loveday, the trumpet major, and sailor Robert, while invasion fear and military life press on a Wessex shore. Hardy?s love triangle of loyalty, longing, and hope under the shadow of war. Spoken as when a bugle call and a brother?s claim arrive in the same breath and leave no easy choosing.

Author

Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) gave English literature its most unforgettable tragic landscapes — the imagined county of Wessex, where heath, village, and market town hold the fate of ordinary lives. In Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, and Far from the Madding Crowd, he wrote characters undone by chance, desire, and the hard edges of Victorian society.
