FIRST LINE REVIEW: "The schoolmaster was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry." And as I finish this book, no one is sorry! What a depressing and frustrating novel. I struggled to care about any of the characters, but plodded on nonetheless, ever hoping that I would come to care for them. Alas, twas not to be. So long Jude and Sue...enjoy the endless misery.
