My immediate thoughts: why was this was so intricately prolonged? and then, I similarly enjoyed it because it was Hardy -- complicated relationships: convoluted and extensive, mixed up and tricky; and award-winning story telling. I gave him four stars, though A Laodicean will probably be my least favorite of the Hardys I have read. This is a good story for Hardy fans who adore his narratives about relationships and people and don't mind being bogged down in long-winded details about every day life. Be prepared for a longer than usual read. I love the odd books that LIbriVox turns up. I really enjoy this reader and have been seeking out his books that are mostly English Victorians. This was an unknown to me Thomas Hardy, not typical of what I usually think of as Hardy but quote enjoyable. Mainly a love story with devious characters and side plots and deceptions and a rather totally unexepected ending. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Though he is best remembered today for Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far From the Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy's 1881 novel A Laodicean is also a worthy read for fans of his work. An architect falls madly in love with a young heiress, but his feelings initially are not requited. Along the way, a number of unsavory secrets are revealed. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Edit: Well, on a second reading, some four years later, I find myself having much more sympathy for Paula, bullied and bothered as she was by the various men who pursued her. I wonder if there were enough changes in the Wessex edition by Hardy from the original serialized version to change my opinion. I still couldn't enjoy the continental scenes at all; they've nothing at all to do with what Hardy is best at. This must be my least favorite of Hardy's novels, but even so it's enjoyable merely by being Hardy's writing. ( )
