Driven by family poverty, Tess Durbeyfield claims kinship with the wealthy d'Urbervilles and seeks a portion of their family fortune. Meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. Later, Angel Clare seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future. The novel is a sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and a powerful criticism of social convention.
