This book is set in the 1870s, following a women called Bathsheba Everdene. The book follows her life as she takes a position as a farmer with a big estate. Due to Bathsheba being as bold as she is, three suitors are drawn to her and ask for her hand in marriage.
My favourite character in this book was Gabriel Oak, who is Bathsheba’s first suitor, because he seems really genuine and humble. He also knows how to react to certain things and he has a heart.
On the other hand, I didn’t like Bathsheba because she was quite vain and proud of who she is. She didn’t really think about her choices thoroughly, although as I read on I realised that she is very independent, which is quite a surprise context-wise, because women during this time period didn’t have to same freedom that she has and traditional family values were normally followed. Bathsheba is just very different.
