The book was made into a movie by Roman Polanski. He decided to make this into a movie because he was given a copy of the novel by his late wife the last time he saw her.
Impressions?
The whole time I was reading it, the only thing I can think about is how tragic the story is. It tells of the loss of innocence, the loss of love and faith. Tess is a compelling character and you can’t help but be haunted by her plight.
Most Memorable?
"Thus, the thing began. Had she perceived this meeting's import she might have asked why she was doomed to be seen and coveted that day by the wrong man, and not by some other man, the right and desired one in all respects..."
"You, and those like you, take your fill of pleasure on earth by making the life of such as me bitter and black with sorrow; and then it is a fine thing, when you have had enough of that, to think of securing your pleasure in heaven by becoming converted!"
