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

'Magnificent... a masterful storyteller and meticulous researcher, Byrne shows us how the women in Hardy's work are based on the women in his life. But she does so with the delicacy of a hummingbird, darting from point to point, suggesting but never concluding'

Washington Post

'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 to some 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'
