The Return of the Native

The native of the title is Clym Yeobright, who returns to the area from the glittering society of Paris, and as any Hardy reader knows, all is not well. He quickly gets carried away and marries the one woman he shouldn't: Eustacia Vye. The suffering that follows is somewhat mitigated by the ending.
