バスシーバ・エバーディンは若く自尊心があり、美しい。自立した女性で、彼女の選ぶどんな男性とでも結婚できる―もしも誰かを選ぶことがあれば、の話だが。実際のところ、彼女は自立した生活が気に入っていて、男性中心の社会で挑戦するのが好きだった。だが、愛の力を無視するのは愚かなことだ。バスシーバは彼女との結婚を切望していた3人の男性の内の一人と恋に落ちるが、ほどなく以前の自立した生活を続けておけばよかったと後悔する。愛が、悩みや心の痛み、人生を破滅させる激情を生むことを知る。

Bathsheba Everdene is young, proud, and beautiful. She is an independent woman and can marry any man she chooses - if she chooses. In fact, she likes her independence, and she likes fighting her own battles in a man's world. But it is never wise to ignore the power of love. There are three men who would very much like to marry Bathsheba. When she falls in love with one of them, she soon wishes she had kept her independence. She learns that love brings misery, pain, and violent passions that can destroy lives...
