Hazel Woodus, half-gypsy and wholly of the hills, lives with her harpist father and her tame fox on the Welsh border. Two men want her: Edward Marston, the tender, unworldly minister who marries her, and Jack Reddin, the hard-riding squire of Undern who hunts everything that runs. Webb sets their struggle against a landscape of birch spinneys and mountain weather.
Webb’s intense, lyrical rural tragedy, later filmed by Powell and Pressburger, for readers who love Hardy. Download the free EPUB.
