Thomas Hardy's first released novel, Desperate Remedies is an exciting mixture of Gothic puzzle and love-triangle relationship. Following the untimely death of the parents, Cytheria and Owen Graye must venture out in to the world and fend for themselves. Cytheria's trip leads her to the dark and incomprehensible household of Pass up Aldclyffe, a capricious and eccentric girl, who steers Cytheria into a romance with her charismatic steward, Aeneous Manston. All is not what it appears, and Cytheria sees herself entangled in a violent web of lust, murder, deception, and blackmail. Using its beautiful and evocative scenes, along with styles of fate and course, the novel has many traces of Hardy's personal style, and is a unique take on the Victorian 'feeling' novel.
