Omtale

"Desperate Remedies" is one of Thomas Hardy's first works. The book belongs to the sensation novel genre, which gained popularity in the Victorian era and included dramatic and suspenseful plotlines mixed with themes of romance and melodrama. Cytherea Graye, the main character, and her brother Owen are at the centre of the narrative. Following their parents' unexpected deaths, Owen and Cytherea are having financial difficulties. They relocate to Budmouth, a thriving town, where Cytherea works as a governess. When architect Edward Springrove develops feelings for Cytherea, the storyline takes a turn. But after a misunderstanding, Edward proposes to a different woman. Aeneas Manston, a mysterious and wealthy guy, appears in the story as it is being told. He takes a liking to Cytherea and hires her to keep his wife company. But as secrets are divulged and characters' pasts resurface, the book takes a darker turn. The film "Desperate Remedies" delves into topics of love, treachery, and conformity to social norms. Hardy experiments with several storytelling forms and approaches in the book, setting the stage for his later, more well-known works.
