The story of Tess is one of my favourites. Most women distrust the expectations of men who have fallen in love with the protagonist of this book. Well they might. Most men respond to that distrust with the blunt retort of, "baby, I'm no Angel."
Please excuse the glare. It's the aura of light that follows Tess around. She can't help it.
She was a poem and a painting too.
