Gone to Earth
by Mary Webb
'Gone to Earth' Summary
Hazel Woodus, a young woman living in rural Shropshire, possesses an uncanny connection to nature, especially to a half-tame fox cub she befriends. Her understanding of the wild contrasts sharply with her struggles to navigate the complexities of human relationships. She finds herself entangled with two very different men: the powerful Squire of the Manor and the local Minister, each representing contrasting social forces and expectations. As Hazel's life becomes intertwined with these men, she confronts the choices and societal pressures that define her world. 'Gone to Earth' explores themes of love, passion, class differences, and the inherent tension between the wild and the civilized, leading to a poignant and ultimately tragic story of a woman caught between instinct and fate.Book Details
