TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES by Thomas Hardy

Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a novel by Thomas Hardy that tells the tragic story of a young woman from an impoverished rural family in fictional Wessex, England, who is exploited and ultimately destroyed by societal hypocrisy and the men in her life. The novel, subtitled "A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented," challenges Victorian sexual morality and explores themes of social injustice, fate versus free will, and the role of women in 19th-century society.
