Story
Hardy's first major literary success, here brought to life by narrator Nathaniel Parker, is the story of the independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene, who inherits her uncle's farm, the largest estate in the area. She surprises the villagers of Weatherbury by deciding to run it herself. Attracted to this bold young woman are three suitors all vying for her affections. They include the lonely gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the young and handsome but inconsiderate Sergeant Troy and the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak.

Excellent storyline, even after watching the film, and
excellent narrator.
Wish this wasn’t a fifteen word minimum as difficult to write more after stating the obvious.

Invitation to Murder, an awful narrator!!
Reviewed: 28-03-24
What would’ve been a good storyline was thoroughly spoilt by this narrator, a very flat & uneventful reading quality, Audiobooks should review before people listen or buy.

Think the storyline may be good but in between various voices the musical tone of the narrator puts you off, shame really, couldn’t listen had to delete it from library.
