In chapter 35, Tess's husband Clare has a terrible realisation - She remained mute, not knowing that he was smothering his affection for her. She hardly observed that a tear descended slowly upon his cheek, a tear so large that it magnified the pores of the skin over which it rolled, like the object lens of a microscope. Meanwhile reillumination as to the terrible and total change that her confession had wrought in his life, in his universe, returned to him, and he tried desperately to advance among the new conditions in which he stood. - a shocking moment for all who read it. Powerful words that ring in the mind. This book is one that deserves to be read.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56479815663995,"sku":"10928506","price":19.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_532163_jpg.jpg?v=1790680223","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/thomas-hardys-tess-of-the-durbervilles-laurel-press-1987","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
