📱 eBook en inglés THE TRUMPET-MAJOR

"The Trumpet-Major", first published in 1880, is Thomas Hardys seventh novel — a historical and pastoral romance set in and around the seaside resort of Budmouth (Weymouth) during the Napoleonic Wars.

Our heroine, a graceful and charming young woman, Anne Garland, lives quietly in a rural community deep in the English countryside. However, the arrival of several regiments preparing for an expected invasion brings colour and chaos to the county.
Anne is pursued by three suitors: John Loveday, the trumpet-major in a British regiment, honest and loyal; his brother Robert, a merchant seaman and womaniser, and Festus Derriman, the cowardly son of the local squire.
Set at the time of the Napoleonic wars, this is the authors only historical novel, and unusually for Hardys books, some of the characters live happily ever after.
