The Return of the NativeThe passionate Eustacia Vye feels herself imprisoned in the wild, isolated Egdon Heath ("`Tis my cross ... and will be my death"), and although she longs for a love that will free her from it, her marriage only serves to trap her deeper within it. But when their relationship falters Eustacia turns to her old lover Damon Wildeve, leading to a disastrous climax on the brooding wilds of Egdon Heath. |
