Here - I am waiting to know about this offer of mine. The woman is no good to me. Who''ll have her?

In a spell of drunken rage and stupidity, Michael Henchard sells his wife and child at a county fair for five guineas. It would be an action that would plague at Michael''s conscience for years to come and a secret he would work hard to conceal.

Eighteen years later, Michael has risen to the position of Mayor. He is held in high esteem by the close-knit townsfolk of Casterbridge but when his wife and child unexpectedly return and misfortune befalls the town, the Mayor is forced to confront his past and his own flawed nature.

Vividly told with startling honesty and harrowing insight, The Mayor of Casterbridge explores fate, the consequences of youthful mistakes, and the possibility of redemption.
