Summary
Uncertain of her future but unwilling to sacrifice her freedom, young Bathsheba Everdene rejects the proposal of Gabriel Oak, only to become his employer when a cruel twist of fate destroys the loyal shepherd's prospects. Still in love, Gabriel can only stand by and watch as Bathsheba mischievously flirts with her neighbor, Mr. Boldwood, unleashing a passionate obsession that burns deep within the reserved Boldwood. Both men forsake their hearts, however, upon the arrival of the dashing soldier Frank Troy. Despite being in love with another woman himself, Troy sees a challenge in Bathsheba and sets out to win her.
