About this audiobook
On the desolate and beautiful Egdon Heath, the arrival of an outsider triggers a chain reaction of forbidden desire and tragic fate. The lives of five individuals become hopelessly entangled in a landscape that seems to possess a will of its own. It is a brooding, atmospheric masterpiece that examines the conflict between primitive instincts and modern civilization.
