Very quick read. A lot of unbelievable events but, if you can suspend your disbelief, it's entertaining. Read the Kommandant's Girl first.
This was interesting because I read it back in high school or college, loved it and everything else I could find by Thomas Hardy. A couple of years ago I listened to it, and hated it because of the unquestioned miserable fate of the heroine.
