When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future.

With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels.

Why I Recommend Audible by Alan Twigg

Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening, enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With the arrival of the internet and portable digital devices, audio-books began to become availalbe for download.

Having tried most of the other download services myself, I finally came to the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone, mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio content easy and umcomplicated.


In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection of audio books anywhere. Depending on the promotion currently on offer, you can download any audiobook of your choice for free (including almost certainly the title on this page, too).
