About this listen
In a remote corner of early Victorian England, where traditional practices remain untouched by time, Bathsheba Everdene stands out as a beacon of female independence and self-reliance. However, when confronted with three suitors, among them the dashing Sergeant Troy, she shows a reckless capriciousness that threatens the stability of the whole community. Published in 1874, and an immediate best seller, Far From the Madding Crowd established Thomas Hardy as one of Britain's foremost novelists.

Wonderful.
It took me a few chapters to get into the story but I was hooked from then on. Jamie Parker has a wonderful voice and he is very skilled at bringing every character to life.

magnificently read classic
The narration in this version is superb.. very clever range of voices that makes the poetry of Thomas Hardy's work even better.

Wonderful
This is a great gripping page turning story that takes u into 19th century England. Thomas Hardy brings the characters and land scape to life, and Jamie Parker does the same in voice, exceptionally good book and so well narrated by Jamie Parker. A must hear 😊

A wonderful example of old world sensibilities and honour
Memorable characters and a story that will stay with the reader long after the last page is read. A story often copied but never improved upon with a depth in the prose missing in today’s writing.

The best way to enjoy the classics
Once again beautifully read/performed.
An old-fashioned love story told through the mastery of one of yesteryear’s great authors.

Fantastic narration by Jamie Parker
Loved the book, it had a good balance of poetic description and plot development... Made me wish I could express myself in such magnificent language. Some great laughs in it too. Favourite character was the maltster, largely because of the way Jamie narrated him- I could just the crusty old man with no teeth.

Bad narration
Hi i took me alot of trues to get into this book, and I think the main reason was the narration. The story only captured me in the last 1/4.....I was disappointed....
