Rezensionen
EARLY PRAISE FOR HARDY WOMEN

'Absorbing... a treat for Hardy fans and unhappy wives'

The Times

'Novelist and poet Thomas Hardy created some of literature's most enduring female characters . . . but it is the real women who shaped the life of the tortured genius that a book vividly reanimates'

Independent

'By turns infuriating and inspiring, but always fascinating, this page-turner of a book offers a genuinely fresh perspective on one of Victorian Britain's most famous writers'

Gareth Russell, author of The Palace

'A fascinating re-examination of the life of Thomas Hardy through the eyes of the women who profoundly influenced him-his mother, his sisters, girlfriends, wives and muses. Drawing on access tosome neverbefore-seen passages in Hardy's journals, she shows that it is through these hardy women that we can truly appreciate his much-loved works'
